Overview

About 17 Cathedral Court

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

It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. At 67 m² this is the 12th smallest of 21 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 60–105 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 21 units on file. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a C (score 73). The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 17 Cathedral Court is modelled from its 67 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 4AF. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 17 Cathedral Court. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 17 Cathedral Court was lodged in October 2014 at band C and expired in October 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 17 Cathedral Court. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL3 4AF, not by walking route.
Council tax band
17 Cathedral Court is in council tax band E. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
