Held since October 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 78 m² it sits well below the postcode median (135 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £301,000 is 49.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£239/sq ft) was about 28.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
