Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in May 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2007–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at -24.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £394,000 sits 57.6% above the 2008 sale of £250,000.
