Held since June 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 73 m² it sits well below the postcode median (107 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1999–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £164,000 is 31.2% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£159/sq ft) was about 27% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
