Overview

About 7 Old Church Road

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

It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

When first surveyed in October 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump.

3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 2012–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.6% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£375/sq ft) was about 59% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold October 2022 for £315,000.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 7 Old Church Road is modelled from its 78 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B17 0BB. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 7 Old Church Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC

Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 7 Old Church Road. 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 40 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B17 0BB, not by walking route.
Council tax band
7 Old Church Road is in council tax band D. 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.
