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. Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £245,000 is 48.5% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£185/sq ft) was about 60% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 83 m² it's 23.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (109 m² median across 20 EPCs).
