Held since May 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £88,000 sits 137.8% above the 2009 sale of £37,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£101/sq ft) was about 61.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 34 m² it sits well below the postcode median (71 m² across 60 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
