Overview

About 16 Gainsford Road

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

16 Gainsford Road is an end-of-terrace house in Sheffield (S9 4RJ). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (August 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since March 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £134,000 sits 57.7% above the 2007 sale of £84,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£97/sq ft) was about 55.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
