Overview

About 20 Dovecote Drive

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

20 Dovecote Drive is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Borrowash, Derby, Derby (DE72 3LS). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2012) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £187,000 is 49.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£171/sq ft) was about 15.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
