About Simkins Cottage
Simkins Cottage is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Shelford, Nottingham, Nottingham (NG12 1EE). It has a recorded floor area of 196 m² (around 2110 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
It hasn't traded since October 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 196 m² the property is well over the postcode median (101 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £597,000 sits 403.8% above the 1996 sale of £118,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£56/sq ft) was about 69.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Level 3 Building Survey
