Held since December 2007 — 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 31 m² it sits well below the postcode median (52 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £129,000 is 46.6% above the 2007 sale price.
