Held since February 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 £235,000 sits 77.4% above the 2008 sale of £132,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£187/sq ft) was about 22.5% below the postcode norm. At 66 m² it's 20% larger than the typical home in the postcode (55 m² median across 7 EPCs).
