Held since December 2007 — that's 18 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. Across 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at -10.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £330,000 sits 53.5% above the 2007 sale of £215,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£416/sq ft) was about 26.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 48 m² it sits well below the postcode median (70 m² across 16 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
