Overview

About Stamps & Crows

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

It has a recorded floor area of 273 m² (around 2939 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2013. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.

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 Stamps & Crows is modelled from its 273 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO2 0PW. 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 Stamps & Crows. 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 Stamps & Crows was lodged in May 2013 at band D and expired in May 2023, 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. 3 applications are matched to Stamps & Crows. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 24 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO2 0PW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Stamps & Crows is in council tax band G. 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.
