Held since April 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. At 60 m² it's 26.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (48 m² median across 44 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £150,000 is 17.2% above the 2008 sale price.
