It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £206,000 sits 64.8% above the 2007 sale of £125,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£283/sq ft) was about 22% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 41 m² it sits well below the postcode median (79 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
