Today's modelled estimate of £165,000 is 10.8% below the 2008 sale of £185,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. Held since February 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.
