The estimate for 5a is modelled from its 52 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NG24 1AU. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

About 5a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5a is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Newark (NG24 1AU). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 52 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (52–101 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (40 versus a best of 72). The latest certificate (July 2020) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
At 52 m² it sits well below the postcode median (101 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Sold February 2022 for £85,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. Across 2004–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £105,000 is 23.5% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£152/sq ft) was about 42.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 5a is modelled from its 52 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NG24 1AU. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 4 sales are recorded for 5a. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 5a was lodged in July 2020 at band E and is valid until July 2030. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5a. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 12 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NG24 1AU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5a is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
