Overview

About 5 Forest Drive

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

5 Forest Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Ormesby, Middlesbrough, Middlesbrough (TS7 9HX). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1028 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 63). The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£165/sq ft) was about 43.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
