55 Princess Drive, Sandbach, CW11 1BP

55 Princess Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Sandbach (CW11 1BP). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2011. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility.

It hasn't traded since August 2000, a hold of 26 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 £188,000 sits 235.7% above the 2000 sale of £56,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£68/sq ft) was about 63.3% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).
