Held since August 2008 — 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 111 m² the property is well over the postcode median (66 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £109,000 sits 66.4% above the 2008 sale of £65,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£55/sq ft) was about 35.5% below the postcode norm.
