About Motts Hill Cottage
Motts Hill Cottage is a detached house in Walton On The Hill, Tadworth, Tadworth (KT20 7UJ). It has a recorded floor area of 165 m² (around 1776 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 96), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since April 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. Across 2005–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £794,000 sits 58.8% above the 2009 sale of £500,000.
