Overview

About 7 Bakewell Drive

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

7 Bakewell Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Castle Donington, Derby, Derby (DE74 2NF). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (May 2024) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since November 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £256,000 sits 345.2% above the 1996 sale of £57,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£61/sq ft) was about 60.2% below the postcode norm.
