Across 2002–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £145,000 is 17.1% below the 2008 sale of £175,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£267/sq ft) was about 111.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
