About 3 Gainsborough Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Gainsborough Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Richmond (TW9 2DZ). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £783,000 is 14.3% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£758/sq ft) was about 76.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in March 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2025.
