Overview

About 7 Handford Court

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

7 Handford Court is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Derby (DE1 1GX). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 463 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. At 43 m² this is the 23rd smallest of 33 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 29–67 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a C (score 70). The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since September 2018. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since June 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £104,000 sits 278.2% above the 1998 sale of £27,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£59/sq ft) was about 35.1% below the postcode norm. At 43 m² it's 16.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (37 m² median across 32 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 81% of similar EPCs).

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 7 Handford Court is modelled from its 43 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DE1 1GX. 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 7 Handford Court. 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 7 Handford Court was lodged in April 2026 at band C and is valid until April 2036. 3 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 7 Handford Court. 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 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 37 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DE1 1GX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
7 Handford Court 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.
