2 Jays Farm Cottages, Jays Close, Basingstoke, RG22 4BS

2 Jays Farm Cottages is a semi-detached house in Basingstoke (RG22 4BS). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 884 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 65), a 2-band jump.

Held since December 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 82 m² it sits well below the postcode median (129 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £351,000 sits 61% above the 2009 sale of £218,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
