About 5 Highcroft Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

It has a recorded floor area of 156 m² (around 1679 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).

Across 2001–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £353,000 sits 76.5% above the 2006 sale of £200,000.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 5 Highcroft Close is modelled from its 156 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B92 9EU. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 5 Highcroft Close. 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 5 Highcroft Close was lodged in April 2014 at band D and expired in April 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. 7 applications are matched to 5 Highcroft Close. 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 28 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B92 9EU, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 5 Highcroft Close is in council tax band C. 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.
