About 39 Forehill
39 Forehill is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Ely (CB7 4AA). It has a recorded floor area of 161 m² (around 1736 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since January 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 161 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £551,000 sits 267.3% above the 1999 sale of £150,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£86/sq ft) was about 66.7% below the postcode norm. 9 planning records sit against the property, 7 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
