Overview

About 38a

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

38a is a four-bedroom detached house in Ockbrook, Derby, Derby (DE72 3SF). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1345 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since November 2015. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 97), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs). Across 1998–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £550,000 is 17% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£349/sq ft) was about 49.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 11 years ago, in April 2015. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2016.

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 38a is modelled from its 125 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DE72 3SF. 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 38a. 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 38a was lodged in December 2015 at band E and expired in December 2025, 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. 1 application is matched to 38a. 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 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DE72 3SF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
38a 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.
