Held since February 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £180,000 sits 50% above the 2007 sale of £120,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£214/sq ft) was about 50.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 52 m² it sits well below the postcode median (79 m² across 43 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
