About 8a
8a is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Trowbridge (BA14 8DX). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1507 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (August 2024) shows a C (score 70).
It hasn't traded since February 2008, a hold of 18 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. At 140 m² the property is well over the postcode median (54 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 82% of similar EPCs). Across 2000–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £226,000 sits 50.7% above the 2008 sale of £150,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£100/sq ft) was about 30.4% below the postcode norm.
