Held since February 2008 — 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 2001–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 13% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £162,000 is 32.2% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£228/sq ft) was about 44.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
