Overview

About 1 Church Passage

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

At 34 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (34–64 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 5 units on file. The latest certificate (June 2019) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72).

Today's modelled estimate of £244,000 is 89.2% below the 2021 sale of £2,250,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. 2 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 2 refused.
