About 1 Highbank
1 Highbank is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Shipton Oliffe, Cheltenham, Cheltenham (GL54 4JE). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1084 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2011) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £423,000 sits 84.3% above the 2009 sale of £229,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£212/sq ft) was about 17.6% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2004.
