About 17 Alicante Close
17 Alicante Close is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Malvern (WR14 2SH). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in November 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since December 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £170,000 sits 325% above the 1997 sale of £40,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£83/sq ft) was about 64.8% below the postcode norm.
