Overview

About 14a

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

14a is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Orton Goldhay, Peterborough, Peterborough (PE2 5UQ). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in October 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Held since May 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2000–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £182,000 is 43.9% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£178/sq ft) was about 17.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2007.
