Held since October 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £189,000 is 18.1% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£215/sq ft) was about 67% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
