Overview

About 8 Arkwright Street

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

8 Arkwright Street is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Derby (DE24 8FY). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in September 2012 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
