Across 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 27.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £111,000 is 20.7% below the 2007 sale of £140,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£361/sq ft) was about 44.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 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. At 36 m² it sits well below the postcode median (67 m² across 39 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
