Overview

About 9 Elm Road

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

9 Elm Road is a semi-detached house in West Cornforth, Ferryhill, Ferryhill (DL17 9PG). It has a recorded floor area of 151 m² (around 1625 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 1995, a hold of 31 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. At 151 m² the property is well over the postcode median (78 m² across 29 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £147,000 sits 366.7% above the 1995 sale of £31,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£19/sq ft) was about 72.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2001. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
