About Summerdell
Summerdell is a detached house in Averham, Newark, Newark (NG23 5RB). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 655 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2011) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 2004–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £398,000 sits 59.2% above the 2014 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£382/sq ft) was about 111.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 61 m² it sits well below the postcode median (157 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in January 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
