Overview

About 16a

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

16a is a two-bedroom detached house in Basingstoke (RG21 8TU). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a C (score 74). The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since September 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 66 m² it's 21.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (84 m² median across 31 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 74% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.1% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£303/sq ft) was about 42.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
