It hasn't traded since April 2007, a hold of 19 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. Across 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £101,000 sits 57.8% above the 2007 sale of £64,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£186/sq ft) was about 23.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 32 m² it's 22% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (41 m² median across 15 EPCs).
