Overview

About 42 Lark Hill

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

42 Lark Hill is a four-bedroom detached house in Swanwick, Alfreton, Alfreton (DE55 1DD). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (January 2010); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Last sale on file: £375,000 in September 2021. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. At 103 m² it's 15.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (122 m² median across 28 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). Across 2004–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £423,000 is 12.8% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£338/sq ft) was about 105.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2017.
