About 2 Florence Close
2 Florence Close is a five-bedroom detached house in Bicton Heath, Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury (SY3 5PD). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since July 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1997–1999, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £397,000 sits 313.5% above the 1999 sale of £96,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£77/sq ft) was about 52.2% below the postcode norm.
