About 43 Islington
43 Islington is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Trowbridge (BA14 8QG). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2023) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump.
Held since July 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £218,000 sits 235.4% above the 1999 sale of £65,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£77/sq ft) was about 45.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2006. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
