Held since November 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 £347,000 sits 56% above the 2007 sale of £222,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£345/sq ft) was about 42% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 60 m² it's 27.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (82 m² median across 48 EPCs).
