About Briarbank
Briarbank is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Taplow, Maidenhead, Maidenhead (SL6 0AX). It has a recorded floor area of 147 m² (around 1582 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in September 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£304/sq ft) was about 15.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 7 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 1 refused. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 147 m² it's 20.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (184 m² median across 11 EPCs).
