Held since April 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. Across 2001–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £245,000 sits 54.1% above the 2008 sale of £159,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£308/sq ft) was about 36.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 48 m² it sits well below the postcode median (71 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
