About Firbank Cottages
Firbank Cottages is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Caerwys, Mold, Mold (CH7 5AT). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1295 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2010) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since October 1997, a hold of 29 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. Today's modelled estimate of £259,000 sits 362.5% above the 1997 sale of £56,000.
