Held since December 2007 — 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. At 56 m² it sits well below the postcode median (100 m² across 44 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £117,000 is 17% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£166/sq ft) was about 20.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
