Overview

About 17 Drovers

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

17 Drovers is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Sturminster Newton (DT10 1QZ). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1020 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2010) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from April 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since February 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. Today's modelled estimate of £256,000 is 21% above the 2008 sale price.
