Held since April 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 9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £326,000 sits 68% above the 2007 sale of £194,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£334/sq ft) was about 27.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
