Held since October 2007 — that's 19 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 65 m² it sits well below the postcode median (96 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 78% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £150,000 is 11.1% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£193/sq ft) was about 20.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
