Overview

About 15 Downhayes Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

15 Downhayes Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Trowbridge (BA14 8QQ). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2020) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.

Held since December 2009 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2003–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £251,000 sits 79.3% above the 2009 sale of £140,000.
