It hasn't traded since March 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2004–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -2.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £255,000 sits 121.7% above the 2009 sale of £115,000.
