G — current EPC attribution; certificate dated 23 August 2023 and improvement schedule to retrieve
Advertised performance does not establish measured use.
Needs checking: Complete listed-building, planning, Building Control and warranty archive for the subdivision, modernisation, pool, pool house, garage, gates, EV charging and private drainage
Needs checking: Full EPC recommendations, Calor-gas and Klargester condition, measured pool and whole-house operating costs, and property-level environmental and insurability evidence
Southerly
EPC C — attributed by the live By Design instruction; certificate and improvement schedule to retrieve
Advertised performance does not establish measured use.
Needs checking: Complete approvals, completion certificates, structural calculations, professional appointments, invoices and warranties for the long alteration programme
Needs checking: Direct EPC, three years of utility and spa costs, service histories, property-level flood and ground evidence and high-value insurance terms
Studio 1, St Oswald’s Place
D · publisher attribution
Advertised performance does not establish measured use.
Needs checking: Full consent and completion trail for the current owners’ renovation
Exact-address history only. The sale is more than twenty-two years old, predates the present marketing condition and conflicts with the current semi-detached description; it is not a same-condition valuation comparable.
Transaction source ↗A historical sale is not an earlier asking price; no price reduction is inferred.
Southerly£640,000 · 18 Apr 2002
12 Stoke Hill, Stoke Bishop
Exact-address identity and land-history anchor only. It predates the long enlargement and modernisation programme, and the then-condition, measured area and included fixtures are not matched to today's house.
Transaction source ↗A historical sale is not an earlier asking price; no price reduction is inferred.
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.
