Overview

About 1 Bell Cottage

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

1 Bell Cottage is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Walpole Highway, Wisbech, Wisbech (PE14 7QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 76 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (44–76 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to B, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (81 versus a worst of 27). The latest certificate (August 2019) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in October 2010 the rating was D, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Good to Very Good, window efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff.

Held since September 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £126,000 is 11% above the 2007 sale price. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2009.
