5 College Gardens, Grimsby, DN33 2JN
About 5 College Gardens
5 College Gardens is a detached house in Grimsby (DN33 2JN). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2022) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in January 2014 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since May 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £186,000 sits 58.3% above the 2009 sale of £117,500.
