About Etherstone
Etherstone is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Tadworth (KT20 5SA). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1335 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (August 2022) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in August 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 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 £748,000 sits 55.8% above the 2009 sale of £480,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£360/sq ft) was about 38.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 124 m² it's 26.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (98 m² median across 6 EPCs).
