Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 25.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £196,000 is 10.9% below the 2007 sale of £220,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£284/sq ft) was about 69.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Held since September 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.
