Held since February 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £174,000 sits 56.8% above the 2007 sale of £111,000.
