It hasn't traded since September 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. Across 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at -10.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £149,000 is 19.2% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£219/sq ft) was about 18.5% below the postcode norm. At 53 m² it's 28.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (74 m² median across 21 EPCs).
