131a is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sheffield (S2 2EH). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2018) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since January 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 £156,000 sits 122.9% above the 1995 sale of £70,000.
