Held since September 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. Today's modelled estimate of £208,000 sits 79.3% above the 2009 sale of £116,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£112/sq ft) was about 15.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
