Held since June 2007 — 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 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £128,000 sits 96.9% above the 2007 sale of £65,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£155/sq ft) was about 54.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (66 m² across 40 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
