Overview

About 8 Thornleigh Drive

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

8 Thornleigh Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Orton Longueville, Peterborough, Peterborough (PE2 7AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in January 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £282,000 sits 101.4% above the 2009 sale of £139,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£165/sq ft) was about 16% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
