About 6 Banks Road

It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. At 50 m² this is the 19th smallest of 22 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 38–57 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a C (score 72). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since April 2007 — that's 19 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. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £237,000 sits 52.2% above the 2007 sale of £155,750.
