Today's modelled estimate of £117,000 is 16.4% below the 2007 sale of £140,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£217/sq ft) was about 18.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since November 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 60 m² it sits well below the postcode median (87 m² across 78 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
