18 Bakewell Close, Balderton, Newark, NG24 3DY

18 Bakewell Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Balderton, Newark, Newark (NG24 3DY). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 962 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2012) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (May 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from January 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £151,000 sits 115.7% above the 2009 sale of £70,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£73/sq ft) was about 26.8% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs).
