Held since July 2007 — that's 19 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. At 43 m² it sits well below the postcode median (101 m² across 28 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £366,000 is 26.2% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£627/sq ft) was about 436.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
