It hasn't traded since May 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £118,000 sits 57.3% above the 2008 sale of £75,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£158/sq ft) was about 50.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 44 m² it sits well below the postcode median (100 m² across 33 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
