16a, Beaconsfield Road, Basingstoke, RG21 3DQ

16a is a four-bedroom detached house in Basingstoke (RG21 3DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 172 m² (around 1851 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 172 m² the property is well over the postcode median (110 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £602,000 sits 473.3% above the 1996 sale of £105,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£57/sq ft) was about 73.1% below the postcode norm. 6 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include tree works, an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
