About Flagpole Cottage
Flagpole Cottage is a five-bedroom detached house in Tandridge, Oxted, Oxted (RH8 9NH). It has a recorded floor area of 251 m² (around 2705 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band H. The latest certificate (February 2010) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). The latest certificate is from February 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 1995, a hold of 31 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. Today's modelled estimate of £1,671,000 sits 328.5% above the 1995 sale of £390,000.
