Held since April 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £966,000 sits 89.4% above the 2009 sale of £510,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£277/sq ft) was about 29.7% below the postcode norm.
