Overview

About 1 The Oaks

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

1 The Oaks is a semi-detached house in Hookagate, Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury (SY5 8BE). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 113), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 1995, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £327,000 sits 211.4% above the 1995 sale of £105,000. At 52 m² it sits well below the postcode median (92 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
