Overview

About 6 Firwood Drive

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

6 Firwood Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Tuffley, Gloucester, Gloucester (GL4 0AB). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (September 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory and attached land beyond the plot.

Today's modelled estimate of £476,000 sits 68.5% above the 2014 sale of £282,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£215/sq ft) was about 45.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 122 m² it's 26.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (97 m² median across 11 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). Last sold in February 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
