5 Alma Square, Farnborough, GU14 6AD
About 5 Alma Square
5 Alma Square is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Farnborough (GU14 6AD). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 762 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 49). The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a corner plot.
It hasn't traded since November 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. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £428,000 sits 86.1% above the 2009 sale of £230,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£302/sq ft) was about 15.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
