About 31 Welsh Street
31 Welsh Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bishops Castle (SY9 5BS). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 463 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on dual fuel. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since July 1997, a hold of 29 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 £145,000 sits 314.3% above the 1997 sale of £35,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£76/sq ft) was about 43.7% below the postcode norm. At 43 m² it sits well below the postcode median (125 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
