Held since March 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. Today's modelled estimate of £341,000 sits 94.9% above the 2008 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£313/sq ft) was about 19.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 52 m² it's 23.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (68 m² median across 9 EPCs).
