Overview

About 3 Church Cottages

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

3 Church Cottages is an end-of-terrace house in Birdlip, Gloucester, Gloucester (GL4 8JH). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 888 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 2007 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £315,000 is 40% above the 2007 sale price.

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 3 Church Cottages is modelled from its 83 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in GL4 8JH. 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 3 Church Cottages. 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 3 Church Cottages was lodged in December 2008 at band F 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. None is matched to 3 Church Cottages. 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 1 school and 15 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GL4 8JH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Church Cottages 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.
