Overview

About 31 Birchwood Road

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

31 Birchwood Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Scunthorpe (DN16 3HP). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in March 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility.

Across 1999–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £192,000 is 30.2% above the 2021 sale price. Sold February 2021 for £147,500. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
