Held since March 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. One planning record on file: subdivision approved in 2008. Past consents include subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £113,000 is 13% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£133/sq ft) was about 16.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 70 m² it's 20.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (88 m² median across 9 EPCs).
