Held since October 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 41 m² it sits well below the postcode median (68 m² across 82 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2009–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £148,000 is 24.8% above the 2009 sale price.
