Held since May 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 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £518,000 sits 61.9% above the 2007 sale of £320,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£381/sq ft) was about 18.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 78 m² it sits well below the postcode median (135 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
