Held since August 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 50 m² it sits well below the postcode median (72 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £209,000 is 32.3% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£294/sq ft) was about 27.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
