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

It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (September 2014) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £121,000 is 13.6% below the 2007 sale of £140,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£224/sq ft) was about 133.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode.
