It hasn't traded since October 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 91 m² the property is well over the postcode median (61 m² across 33 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2002–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £210,000 is 28.8% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£166/sq ft) was about 24.7% below the postcode norm.
