About Bailgate Court

It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs.

The latest certificate (June 2020) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76).
Today's modelled estimate of £682,000 is 20.7% below the 2020 sale of £860,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£441/sq ft) was about 91.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 181 m² the property is well over the postcode median (130 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused.
