5 The Crescent, Cummersdale, Carlisle, CA2 6BB

5 The Crescent is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cummersdale, Carlisle, Carlisle (CA2 6BB). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in February 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 109 m² the property is well over the postcode median (70 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £164,000 sits 82.2% above the 2011 sale of £90,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£77/sq ft) was about 30.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in July 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.
