Overview

About 5 Central Avenue

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

5 Central Avenue is a detached house in Borrowash, Derby, Derby (DE72 3JZ). It has a recorded floor area of 216 m² (around 2325 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 216 m² the property is well over the postcode median (92 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £651,000 is 30.2% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£215/sq ft) was about 33.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in November 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
