Held since February 2007 — that's 20 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. Today's modelled estimate of £99,000 is 20% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£219/sq ft) was about 21.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
