Held since February 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 1996–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 13% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £272,000 sits 60% above the 2008 sale of £170,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£251/sq ft) was about 62.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 63 m² it's 28% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (88 m² median across 40 EPCs).
