It hasn't traded since April 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 32 m² it sits well below the postcode median (83 m² across 47 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2001–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 17.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £112,000 is 45.5% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£224/sq ft) was about 43.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
