Held since March 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. Today's modelled estimate of £131,000 is 20.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£240/sq ft) was about 18.6% below the postcode norm. At 42 m² it's 23.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (55 m² median across 30 EPCs).
