Overview

About 15 Kirby Drive

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

15 Kirby Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Cottingham (HU16 4DL). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 115 m² the property is well over the postcode median (77 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2009–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £372,000 is 28.3% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£234/sq ft) was about 66.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in March 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
