Hillview, New Road, Blakeney, GL15 4DE

Hillview is an end-of-terrace house in Blakeney (GL15 4DE). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in September 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 2007, 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. At 72 m² it sits well below the postcode median (117 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £289,000 is 40.3% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£266/sq ft) was about 34.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
