Held since October 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £213,000 sits 93.6% above the 2009 sale of £110,000. At 52 m² it sits well below the postcode median (93 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
