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. Across 2003–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £227,000 sits 71.3% above the 2008 sale of £132,500. At 41 m² it sits well below the postcode median (69 m² across 36 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
