Overview

About 16 Offord Grove

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

It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2012 onwards. The latest certificate (June 2024) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (June 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 90).

Today's modelled estimate of £516,000 sits 51.8% above the 2014 sale of £339,950. 5 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused, 2 pending. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. An application is currently awaiting a decision.

Where sold prices come from
