About 9 Orchid Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
9 Orchid Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Farndon, Newark, Newark (NG24 3TX). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in December 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£198/sq ft) was about 22.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
