9a, Montpellier Grove, Cheltenham, GL50 2XB

9a is a semi-detached house in Cheltenham (GL50 2XB). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1485 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (September 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 64). The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since April 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 138 m² the property is well over the postcode median (79 m² across 47 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £368,000 sits 518.5% above the 1996 sale of £59,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£40/sq ft) was about 84.2% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2009.
