It hasn't traded since February 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 8.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £105,000 sits 50% above the 2008 sale of £70,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£232/sq ft) was about 42.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 28 m² it sits well below the postcode median (47 m² across 37 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
