Held since November 2008 — that's 18 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 £411,000 sits 113% above the 2008 sale of £193,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£189/sq ft) was about 23.9% below the postcode norm. At 95 m² it's 17.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (81 m² median across 48 EPCs).
