It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £165,000 sits 175% above the 2007 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£86/sq ft) was about 25.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
