About Benson Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Benson Cottage is a detached house in Flixborough, Scunthorpe, Scunthorpe (DN15 8RL). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1996-2002. The latest certificate (August 2011) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from August 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£84/sq ft) was about 23.5% below the postcode norm.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Benson Cottage is modelled from its 57 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DN15 8RL. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Benson Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Benson Cottage was lodged in August 2011 at band D and expired in August 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Benson Cottage. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DN15 8RL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
