Held since November 2008 — 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. At 44 m² it sits well below the postcode median (83 m² across 16 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2003–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £109,000 is 39.7% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£166/sq ft) was about 36.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
