About 7 Willow Grove
7 Willow Grove is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Ely (CB7 4EB). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 699 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £303,000 sits 78.8% above the 2009 sale of £169,500. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2017.
