Held since September 2007 — that's 19 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 48 m² it sits well below the postcode median (86 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 76% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £99,000 is 16.5% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£165/sq ft) was about 135.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
