Held since August 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 2001–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £167,000 sits 51.8% above the 2008 sale of £110,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£176/sq ft) was about 21.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 58 m² it sits well below the postcode median (87 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
