Held since January 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. Across 1999–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £250,000 sits 50.6% above the 2008 sale of £166,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£302/sq ft) was about 47.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
