Held since January 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 2006–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £381,000 is 46.3% above the 2008 sale price.
