About 1 Elm Close
1 Elm Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bishop's Stortford (CM22 6LE). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in January 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £380,000 sits 71.2% above the 2007 sale of £222,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£246/sq ft) was about 17.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
