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 £154,000 sits 260.2% above the 1995 sale of £42,750. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£76/sq ft) was about 54.5% 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.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 21a is modelled from its 52 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NG24 3TX. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 21a. 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 21a was lodged in September 2012 at band D and expired in September 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 21a. 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 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NG24 3TX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
21a 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.
