Overview

About 8 Far Croft

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

8 Far Croft is a five-bedroom detached house in Breaston, Derby, Derby (DE72 3HL). It has a recorded floor area of 195 m² (around 2102 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since March 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. At 195 m² the property is well over the postcode median (141 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £496,000 sits 56.5% above the 2009 sale of £317,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£151/sq ft) was about 30.5% below the postcode norm.

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 8 Far Croft is modelled from its 195 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DE72 3HL. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 8 Far Croft. 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 8 Far Croft was lodged in November 2008 at band D and expired in November 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. None is matched to 8 Far Croft. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 13 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DE72 3HL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Far Croft is in council tax band F. 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.
