About 291a
291a is a detached house in Rainworth, Mansfield, Mansfield (NG21 0BL). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in February 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Poor to Average and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since June 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 £169,000 is 14.4% above the 2007 sale price. One planning record on file: a loft conversion refused in 2022.
