Held since May 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. At 116 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £145,000 sits 113.2% above the 2008 sale of £68,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£54/sq ft) was about 68.2% below the postcode norm.
