About 12 Cavendish Road

It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2021) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2009.

The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.
Held since February 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £214,000 sits 167.5% above the 2009 sale of £80,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£105/sq ft) was about 32.4% below the postcode norm. At 71 m² it's 17.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (87 m² median across 52 EPCs).
