Overview

About The Old Smithy

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

The Old Smithy is a three-bedroom detached house in Colston Bassett, Nottingham, Nottingham (NG12 3FP). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1000 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in July 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 93 m² it sits well below the postcode median (150 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £495,000 is 45.6% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£340/sq ft) was about 31.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
