Overview

About 5 New Delight Cottages

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

5 New Delight Cottages is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Hemington, Derby, Derby (DE74 2RE). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1227 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Today's modelled estimate of £292,000 is 33.3% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£178/sq ft) was about 25.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in December 2014, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
