Held since June 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 56 m² it's 22.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (72 m² median across 37 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £155,000 is 17% above the 2007 sale price.
