Held since June 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 1999–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £283,000 sits 59.9% above the 2008 sale of £177,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£274/sq ft) was about 28.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2015. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
