About 23 Trow Close

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

It has a recorded floor area of 34 m² (around 363 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2012) returns a B (score 82), comfortably above the UK average. Main heating runs on electricity.

Today's modelled estimate of £134,000 is 27.6% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£289/sq ft) was about 22% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
