Held since May 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 £107,000 sits 137.8% above the 2008 sale of £45,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£70/sq ft) was about 80.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 60 m² it sits well below the postcode median (86 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
