Overview

About 4 Forest Barn Cottage

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

4 Forest Barn Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Barton Under Needwood, Burton-On-Trent, Burton On Trent (DE13 8BP). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1593 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 59). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since December 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £448,000 sits 94.8% above the 2009 sale of £230,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£144/sq ft) was about 58% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 148 m² it's 29.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (115 m² median across 4 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% 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 4 Forest Barn Cottage is modelled from its 148 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DE13 8BP. 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 4 Forest Barn Cottage. 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 4 Forest Barn Cottage was lodged in December 2008 at band E and expired in December 2018, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 4 Forest Barn Cottage. 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 3 schools and 19 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DE13 8BP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Forest Barn Cottage is in council tax band C. 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.
