Held since November 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

Today's modelled estimate of £148,000 is 29.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£216/sq ft) was about 56.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 49 m² it's 23.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (64 m² median across 5 EPCs).
