About 2 Church Street
2 Church Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Long Bennington, Newark, Newark (NG23 5EN). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 688 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2009) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 63). The latest certificate is from October 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since June 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 64 m² it sits well below the postcode median (138 m² across 24 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £208,000 is 18.9% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£254/sq ft) was about 52.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
