7 Duncombe Court, Thames Side, Staines Upon Thames, TW18 2HE

7 Duncombe Court is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Staines Upon Thames (TW18 2HE). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (July 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, main heating went from Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 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 74% of similar EPCs). Across 2003–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £346,000 is 38.4% above the 2008 sale price.
