Overview

About Orchard Lea

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

Orchard Lea is a detached house in Combe Down, Bath, Bath (BA2 5EQ). It has a recorded floor area of 134 m² (around 1445 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 134 m² it's 19.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (166 m² median across 7 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs). Across 2004–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £698,000 is 46.9% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£329/sq ft) was about 23% below the postcode norm.

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 Orchard Lea is modelled from its 134 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BA2 5EQ. 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 Orchard Lea. 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 Orchard Lea was lodged in April 2009 at band C and expired in April 2019, 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. 1 application is matched to Orchard Lea. 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 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BA2 5EQ, not by walking route.
Council tax band
Orchard Lea 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.
