Held since February 2007 — that's 19 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 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £208,000 sits 60% above the 2007 sale of £130,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£302/sq ft) was about 31% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 40 m² it sits well below the postcode median (63 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
