Held since July 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. Across 1998–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £138,000 sits 140% above the 2008 sale of £57,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£62/sq ft) was about 29.5% below the postcode norm. At 86 m² it's 24.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (69 m² median across 12 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
