About 73a
73a is a two-bedroom detached house in Semington, Trowbridge, Trowbridge (BA14 6JR). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1967-1975. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (122 m² across 28 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £252,000 is 35.5% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£454/sq ft) was about 119.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
