Held since January 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. Today's modelled estimate of £174,000 sits 132% above the 2008 sale of £75,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£106/sq ft) was about 21.4% below the postcode norm. At 66 m² it's 19.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (82 m² median across 10 EPCs).
