9 Watermeet Grove, Stoke On Trent, ST1 5GD

9 Watermeet Grove is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Stoke On Trent (ST1 5GD). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (August 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 95 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 2003–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £180,000 is 29.5% above the 2008 sale price.
