Overview

About 16a

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

16a is a semi-detached house in Longford, Gloucester, Gloucester (GL2 9BB). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 50 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (50–103 m²). The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 34 units on file. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since December 2007 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 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. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £168,000 is 34.9% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£231/sq ft) was about 72.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2021.
