Held since March 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. Across 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £350,000 sits 75% above the 2008 sale of £200,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£170/sq ft) was about 28.8% below the postcode norm. At 109 m² it's 18% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (133 m² median across 5 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).
