About Borderigg
Borderigg is a three-bedroom detached house in Tunbridge Wells (TN2 5JH). It has a recorded floor area of 159 m² (around 1711 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (August 2018) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since August 2018. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
Held since July 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 159 m² the property is well over the postcode median (108 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £661,000 sits 61.2% above the 2008 sale of £410,000. 9 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 4 refused.
