About 8 Shaftesbury Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Shaftesbury Avenue is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Grimsby (DN34 4AE). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1255 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2011) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a loft.
Held since July 2002 — that's 24 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 117 m² the property is well over the postcode median (89 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £172,000 sits 149.3% above the 2002 sale of £69,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£55/sq ft) was about 51% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 8 Shaftesbury Avenue is modelled from its 117 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DN34 4AE. 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 8 Shaftesbury Avenue. 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 8 Shaftesbury Avenue was lodged in February 2011 at band E and expired in February 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. 1 application is matched to 8 Shaftesbury Avenue. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DN34 4AE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Shaftesbury Avenue is in council tax band B. 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.
