Held since March 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. At 82 m² it sits well below the postcode median (124 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £141,000 is 17.5% above the 2007 sale price.
