Held since March 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. At 57 m² it sits well below the postcode median (100 m² across 45 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 73% of similar EPCs). Across 2008–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at -0.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £104,000 is 36.8% above the 2008 sale price.
