18 College Gardens, Grimsby, DN33 2JN
About 18 College Gardens
18 College Gardens is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Grimsby (DN33 2JN). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 2008, a hold of 18 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. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2018. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £162,000 is 37.3% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£169/sq ft) was about 29.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 65 m² it's 29.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (92 m² median across 8 EPCs).
