Overview

About 8 Castle Close

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

8 Castle Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Borrowash, Derby, Derby (DE72 3FX). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (February 2024) shows a C (score 73). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88).

Held since August 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. Today's modelled estimate of £167,000 sits 145.6% above the 2007 sale of £68,000.
