Overview

About 12a

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

12a is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Shrewsbury (SY2 5BY). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88). The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in June 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 75 m² the property is well over the postcode median (54 m² across 67 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £254,000 is 34.4% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£234/sq ft) was about 21% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
