Held since November 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 £115,000 sits 187.5% above the 2009 sale of £40,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£53/sq ft) was about 20.8% below the postcode norm.
