Overview

About 55 Vernon Road

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

55 Vernon Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Chesterfield (S40 1EL). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in May 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88). The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
