It hasn't traded since June 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 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £190,000 sits 82.7% above the 2008 sale of £104,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£182/sq ft) was about 48.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
