About 7 Market Square
7 Market Square is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Stevenage (SG1 1EP). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 771 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2009) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from October 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 72 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 35–72 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in March 2009. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £190,000 sits 123.5% above the 2009 sale of £85,000.
