About 12 Alma Street
12 Alma Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Shrewsbury (SY3 8QL). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since May 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £261,000 sits 383.3% above the 1997 sale of £54,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£64/sq ft) was about 61.4% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: subdivision refused in 2007.
