Overview

About 14 Avocet Grove

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

14 Avocet Grove is a five-bedroom detached house in Soham, Ely, Ely (CB7 5GN). It has a recorded floor area of 162 m² (around 1744 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2010) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good. The latest certificate is from June 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 162 m² the property is well over the postcode median (121 m² across 33 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 2005–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £454,000 sits 81.6% above the 2011 sale of £249,999. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£143/sq ft) was about 23.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in November 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.
