About 47 Forehill
47 Forehill is a two-bedroom detached house in Ely (CB7 4AA). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 127 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Last sold in January 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. Across 1997–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £435,000 is 27.9% above the 2017 sale price.
