Held since February 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. At 36 m² it sits well below the postcode median (68 m² across 39 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2002–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £188,000 is 13.9% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£426/sq ft) was about 342.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
