It has a recorded floor area of 477 m² (around 5134 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band H. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area.

Earlier certificates rated it C (September 2010); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

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 Copster Farm is modelled from its 477 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB2 7QB. 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 Copster Farm. 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 Copster Farm was lodged in September 2012 at band E and expired in September 2022, 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 Copster Farm. 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 2 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB2 7QB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Copster Farm is in council tax band H. 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.
