20 Austen Road, Farnborough, GU14 8LE
About 20 Austen Road
20 Austen Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Farnborough (GU14 8LE). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
It hasn't traded since January 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 £271,000 sits 111.7% above the 2009 sale of £128,000. At 71 m² it's 15.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (84 m² median across 30 EPCs).
