Overview

About 12 Abbotsford Drive

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

12 Abbotsford Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Carlisle (CA3 0QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (September 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 81 m² it's 29.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (115 m² median across 20 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £178,000 is 37% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£149/sq ft) was about 20.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in April 2016.
