Held since September 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 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (58 m² across 37 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £535,000 is 44.6% above the 2007 sale price.
