Held since December 2008 — that's 17 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 £109,000 sits 107.6% above the 2008 sale of £52,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£132/sq ft) was about 23.1% below the postcode norm. At 37 m² it sits well below the postcode median (59 m² across 34 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
