5 Barbara Close, Grimsby, DN33 3EB
About 5 Barbara Close
5 Barbara Close is a two-bedroom detached house in Grimsby (DN33 3EB). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 746 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2011) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from September 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
Held since December 2007 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £172,000 is 18.6% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£194/sq ft) was about 18.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
