Held since July 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. Today's modelled estimate of £123,000 is 23% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£166/sq ft) was about 33.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 56 m² it's 15.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (66 m² median across 27 EPCs).
