Overview

About 28a

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

28a is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Tunbridge Wells (TN2 4SJ). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1998–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £700,000 is 13.3% above the 2016 sale price.
