About 3 Council Houses
3 Council Houses is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cumberworth, Alford, Alford (LN13 9LF). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2024) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since November 2012. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. Main heating runs on bottled lpg.
It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £155,000 is 47.6% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£113/sq ft) was about 22.4% below the postcode norm. At 86 m² it's 20% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (108 m² median across 26 EPCs).
