Overview

About 21a

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

21a is a semi-detached house in Farndon, Newark, Newark (NG24 3TX). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2012) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 1995, a hold of 31 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £151,000 sits 253.2% above the 1995 sale of £42,750. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£76/sq ft) was about 52.6% below the postcode norm. At 52 m² it sits well below the postcode median (99 m² across 28 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2020.
