About 2 The Poplars
2 The Poplars is a semi-detached house in Cotham, Newark, Newark (NG23 5JT). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 793 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a G (score 4), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 35). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2008, a hold of 17 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. At 74 m² it sits well below the postcode median (135 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 3 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 3 refused. Across 2003–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £181,000 is 49.6% above the 2008 sale price.
