Across 1998–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £100,000 is 61.2% below the 2008 sale of £258,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£2,996/sq ft) was about 523.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since October 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 8 m² it sits well below the postcode median (38 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
