12 Commercial Street, Cheltenham, GL50 2AU

12 Commercial Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cheltenham (GL50 2AU). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1389 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2010 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 129 m² the property is well over the postcode median (90 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £445,000 sits 100.2% above the 2012 sale of £222,250. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£160/sq ft) was about 28.9% below the postcode norm.
