Overview

About 4 Highfield Avenue

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

4 Highfield Avenue is a mid-terrace house in Dove Holes, Buxton, Buxton (SK17 8DE). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 101), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in December 1997. 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 £198,000 sits 411% above the 1997 sale of £38,750. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£42/sq ft) was about 65.4% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2002.
