Held since October 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 2005–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £342,000 sits 62.9% above the 2008 sale of £210,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£629/sq ft) was about 40.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 31 m² it sits well below the postcode median (47 m² across 34 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs).
