Held since June 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 41 m² it sits well below the postcode median (62 m² across 40 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 19.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £107,000 is 30.5% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£186/sq ft) was about 113.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
