About 5 Sidney Grove

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

When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since.

Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £1,195,000 sits 785.2% above the 1995 sale of £135,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£102/sq ft) was about 81% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
