Held since April 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. Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £244,000 is 10.9% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£889/sq ft) was about 593.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 23 m² it's 28.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (32 m² median across 23 EPCs).
