Held since May 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 40 m² it sits well below the postcode median (67 m² across 30 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £153,000 sits 53% above the 2008 sale of £100,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£235/sq ft) was about 22.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
