Held since November 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £108,000 sits 54.3% above the 2007 sale of £70,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£183/sq ft) was about 51.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 36 m² it sits well below the postcode median (78 m² across 23 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
