Overview

About 8 Abbotsford Drive

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

8 Abbotsford Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Carlisle (CA3 0QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since September 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1995–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £231,000 is 21.6% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£152/sq ft) was about 19% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
