Overview

About 8 Fawley Drive

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

8 Fawley Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Prestbury, Cheltenham, Cheltenham (GL52 5BS). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £365,000 sits 80.2% above the 2009 sale of £202,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£186/sq ft) was about 24% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
