Held since February 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 30 m² it sits well below the postcode median (84 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £116,000 is 41.5% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£254/sq ft) was about 53% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
