It hasn't traded since July 2008, a hold of 18 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 2000–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £267,000 sits 50.4% above the 2008 sale of £177,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£228/sq ft) was about 23.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
