Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in November 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £376,000 sits 54.7% above the 2009 sale of £243,000.
