About 18 Rye Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18 Rye Close is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Blackwell, Carlisle, Carlisle (CA2 4SZ). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 63 m² this is the 4th smallest of 18 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 52–101 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (December 2019) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.
Held since July 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

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 18 Rye Close is modelled from its 63 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CA2 4SZ. 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 18 Rye 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 18 Rye Close was lodged in December 2019 at band C and is valid until December 2029. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 18 Rye 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 12 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from CA2 4SZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 18 Rye Close is in council tax band A. 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.
