Overview

About 8a

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

8a is a three-bedroom detached house in Borrowash, Derby, Derby (DE72 3JZ). It has a recorded floor area of 121 m² (around 1302 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

At 121 m² the property is well over the postcode median (92 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2001–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £383,000 is 32.1% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£223/sq ft) was about 38.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in December 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
