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 £267,000 sits 52.6% above the 2008 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£155/sq ft) was about 42% below the postcode norm.
