54 Cumberland Avenue, Basingstoke, RG22 4BQ

54 Cumberland Avenue is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Basingstoke (RG22 4BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 161 m² (around 1733 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since December 2007, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 161 m² the property is well over the postcode median (111 m² across 34 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £522,000 sits 53.5% above the 2007 sale of £340,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£196/sq ft) was about 22.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2001. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
