Overview

About 38 Forres Avenue

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

38 Forres Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Sheffield (S10 1WG). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£452/sq ft) was about 92% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 71 m² it's 20.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (90 m² median across 26 EPCs). Last sale on file: £345,250 in November 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
