Held since March 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 55 m² it sits well below the postcode median (82 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £209,000 is 34.8% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£262/sq ft) was about 44.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
