Overview

About 198a

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

198a is a four-bedroom detached house in Somercotes, Alfreton, Alfreton (DE55 4JS). It has a recorded floor area of 153 m² (around 1647 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a C (score 74). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.

It hasn't traded since May 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.

Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £365,000 sits 62.2% above the 2008 sale of £225,000.
