Overview

About 7 Firfield Avenue

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

7 Firfield Avenue is a two-bedroom detached house in Breaston, Derby, Derby (DE72 3EG). It has a recorded floor area of 394 m² (around 4239 sq ft) and council tax band G. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since October 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. At 394 m² the property is well over the postcode median (126 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 79% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £911,000 sits 199.7% above the 2007 sale of £304,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£72/sq ft) was about 78.1% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include solar panel installation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 7 Firfield Avenue is modelled from its 394 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DE72 3EG. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 7 Firfield Avenue. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 7 Firfield Avenue was lodged in March 2012 at band C and expired in March 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to 7 Firfield Avenue. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DE72 3EG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
7 Firfield Avenue is in council tax band G. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
