Held since March 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 16.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £191,000 sits 59.2% above the 2008 sale of £120,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£310/sq ft) was about 128.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 36 m² it sits well below the postcode median (56 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
