7 Gorse Lea is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Southam (CV47 0LG). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.
It hasn't traded since November 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. Sale prices here have outpaced England HPI: 5% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £271,000 sits 50.6% above the 2007 sale of £180,000.
