Held since October 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 25 m² it sits well below the postcode median (53 m² across 74 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £104,000 is 36.5% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£283/sq ft) was about 143.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
