Overview

About 5 Acorn Close

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

5 Acorn Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Whittington, Oswestry, Oswestry (SY11 4PU). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1356 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in May 2011 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since June 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £314,000 sits 65.3% above the 2007 sale of £189,950. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension, a conservatory and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
