Held since April 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 81 m² the property is well over the postcode median (52 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £235,000 is 26% above the 2008 sale price.
