About 242 Messingham Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
242 Messingham Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Scunthorpe (DN17 2QY). It has a recorded floor area of 144 m² (around 1553 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2011) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from September 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Held since June 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 144 m² the property is well over the postcode median (90 m² across 29 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £296,000 sits 345.1% above the 1998 sale of £66,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£43/sq ft) was about 65.1% 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 242 Messingham Road is modelled from its 144 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DN17 2QY. 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 242 Messingham Road. 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 242 Messingham Road was lodged in September 2011 at band D and expired in September 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 242 Messingham Road. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DN17 2QY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 242 Messingham Road is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
