It hasn't traded since May 2008, a hold of 18 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 2002–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 17.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £535,000 sits 52.9% above the 2008 sale of £350,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£328/sq ft) was about 118.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
