Held since April 2008 — that's 18 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 £406,000 sits 80.4% above the 2008 sale of £225,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£185/sq ft) was about 33.5% below the postcode norm. At 113 m² it's 27% larger than the typical home in the postcode (89 m² median across 10 EPCs).
