How to read this comparison

Headline details are agent or publisher claims unless a source-backed fact is explicitly marked verified. Aveno interpretations and calculations are labelled separately. Unknown means evidence is missing, not that a property fails a check.

Recorded transaction (separate)Studio 1, St Oswald’s Place£2,250,000 · 31 Jan 2018

Studio 1, 38 St Oswald’s Place

The 2018 completed price is the strongest anchor, but it predates the current owners’ reported renovation. The £600,000 change is a question to decompose, not proof of overpricing.

Transaction source ↗A historical sale is not an earlier asking price; no price reduction is inferred.
Important missing informationStudio 1, St Oswald’s Place
  • Current service charge, reserve-fund balance, building-insurance terms and responsibility split for Grade II* common fabric
  • Direct UPRN/title bridge and the exact share-of-freehold/lease rights attached to Studio 1
  • Full consent and completion trail for the current owners’ renovation
Missing evidence is not a negative finding.

The reality of ownership

Features can bring both enjoyment and ongoing attention. These observations identify what to investigate, not estimated bills or confirmed defects.

Studio 1, St Oswald’s Place

There is insufficient feature-level evidence to assess ongoing attention for this home. Ask for a schedule of building systems, grounds responsibilities and recent service records.

Published designationGrade II* · NHLE 1064944. Ask which alterations have consent and what obligations attach to the building; no planning conclusion is inferred.

Ask before you view

  1. What evidence can you provide before a viewing to resolve: Current service charge, reserve-fund balance, building-insurance terms and responsibility split for Grade II* common fabric?
  2. For Studio 1, St Oswald’s Place's advertised 3 bedrooms, which share a level with a bathroom and living space, and what steps are on the route from parking?
  3. For occasional occupation of Studio 1, St Oswald’s Place, which systems need supervision and what vacant-period conditions apply to the current insurance?

Occasional occupation: ask who checks this property while empty and what its services and insurance require.
