Held since March 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. Today's modelled estimate of £223,000 sits 85.8% above the 2007 sale of £120,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£149/sq ft) was about 36.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 75 m² it's 24.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (99 m² median across 18 EPCs).
