About 2 Staples Hill
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Staples Hill is a two-bedroom detached house in Freshford, Bath, Bath (BA2 7WL). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 626 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2011) shows a G (score 17), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at G across 2 certificates since April 2010. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and main heating went from Very Poor to Poor; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

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 2 Staples Hill is modelled from its 58 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BA2 7WL. 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. No sale is recorded for 2 Staples Hill, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 2 Staples Hill was lodged in February 2011 at band G and expired in February 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 2 Staples Hill. 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 3 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BA2 7WL, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 2 Staples Hill 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.
