Across 2005–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £355,000 is 29% below the 2008 sale of £500,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£737/sq ft) was about 379.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in April 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 63 m² the property is well over the postcode median (48 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
