Held since August 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. Across 2007–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at -3.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £153,000 sits 308% above the 2007 sale of £37,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£116/sq ft) was about 66.3% below the postcode norm. At 30 m² it sits well below the postcode median (51 m² across 21 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
