About 8 Cleves Avenue
8 Cleves Avenue is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Ferryhill (DL17 8BN). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in August 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 101), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £123,000 sits 108.5% above the 2014 sale of £59,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£62/sq ft) was about 37.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in November 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
