Held since March 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 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £274,000 sits 56.6% above the 2007 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£325/sq ft) was about 37.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 50 m² it sits well below the postcode median (93 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 83% of similar EPCs).
