About 15 Defender Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 Defender Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Grimsby (DN37 9PS). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2021) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since February 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 75 m² it's 19.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (93 m² median across 15 EPCs). Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £160,000 is 23.1% above the 2007 sale price.

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 15 Defender Drive is modelled from its 75 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DN37 9PS. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 15 Defender Drive. 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 15 Defender Drive was lodged in February 2021 at band D and is valid until February 2031. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 15 Defender Drive. 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 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DN37 9PS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 15 Defender Drive 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.
