Held since October 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. At 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (100 m² across 25 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 84% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £115,000 is 35.3% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£202/sq ft) was about 126.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
