The Elms is a three-bedroom detached house in Kneesall, Newark, Newark (NG22 0AB). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1976-1982. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views. The home occupies a corner plot.

Held since January 2007 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £385,000 is 36.3% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£248/sq ft) was about 37.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
