About 28 Cuthbert Road
28 Cuthbert Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in West Cornforth, Ferryhill, Ferryhill (DL17 9LY). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in June 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility.
At 90 m² the property is well over the postcode median (61 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £115,000 sits 144.7% above the 2016 sale of £47,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£49/sq ft) was about 33% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. 10 years since the last transfer (May 2016).
