Held since October 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. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £115,000 sits 52.3% above the 2009 sale of £75,500.
