Overview

About Highcroft

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

Highcroft is a detached house in Northwich (CW8 4BS). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since September 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 £268,000 sits 252.6% above the 1997 sale of £76,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£73/sq ft) was about 49.3% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs).
