Overview

About 224a

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

224a is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Scunthorpe (DN17 2QY). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2025) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in August 2011 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good.

It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £185,000 sits 54.2% above the 2007 sale of £120,000. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 86% of similar EPCs).
