40 Palmer Road, Sheffield, S9 5FL
About 40 Palmer Road
40 Palmer Road is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Sheffield (S9 5FL). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2020) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and window efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since April 2008, a hold of 18 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. At 106 m² the property is well over the postcode median (78 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £137,000 sits 117.5% above the 2008 sale of £63,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£55/sq ft) was about 18.9% below the postcode norm.
