Held since July 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 58 m² it sits well below the postcode median (87 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 37.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £110,000 is 37.5% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£128/sq ft) was about 157.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
