Overview

About Mardens Cottage

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

Mardens Cottage is a five-bedroom detached house in Upton St. Leonards, Gloucester, Gloucester (GL4 8BG). It has a recorded floor area of 345 m² (around 3708 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 57). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 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 345 m² the property is well over the postcode median (110 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 17.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £894,000 sits 62.5% above the 2009 sale of £550,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£148/sq ft) was about 25.2% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused.

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 Mardens Cottage is modelled from its 345 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in GL4 8BG. 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 Mardens 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 Mardens Cottage was lodged in February 2009 at band E and expired in February 2019, 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. 3 applications are matched to Mardens 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 13 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GL4 8BG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Mardens Cottage 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.
