Held since March 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 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 15% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £204,000 sits 51.1% above the 2007 sale of £135,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£174/sq ft) was about 28.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
