Fairhaven, Gonvena Hill, Wadebridge, PL27 6DH

Fairhaven is a three-bedroom detached house in Wadebridge (PL27 6DH). It has a recorded floor area of 153 m² (around 1647 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.

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. At 153 m² the property is well over the postcode median (104 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £527,000 sits 75.7% above the 2008 sale of £300,000.
