Overview

About 55 Brackens Lane

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

55 Brackens Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in Alvaston, Derby, Derby (DE24 0AQ). It has a recorded floor area of 155 m² (around 1668 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since July 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 155 m² the property is well over the postcode median (86 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £344,000 sits 67.8% above the 2010 sale of £205,000.
