21 Lakeside Close, Stoke On Trent, ST1 5GB

21 Lakeside Close is a detached house in Stoke On Trent (ST1 5GB). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1292 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (May 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since April 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. At 120 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £262,000 is 24.8% above the 2007 sale price.
