It hasn't traded since January 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. At 41 m² it sits well below the postcode median (65 m² across 43 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2004–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £130,000 is 23.8% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£238/sq ft) was about 17.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
