About Imperial House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Imperial House is a two-bedroom property in Cheltenham (GL50 2QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 943 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. At 88 m² this is the 4th smallest of 7 units on EPC record in Imperial House, where floor areas span 31–131 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (January 2012) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Most recent transfer: August 2018 at £415,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include new windows and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 88 m² it's 20% larger than the typical home in the postcode (73 m² median across 27 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs). Across 2006–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £465,000 is 12% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£440/sq ft) was about 86.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Imperial House is modelled from its 88 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in GL50 2QJ. 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. 4 sales are recorded for Imperial House. 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 Imperial House was lodged in January 2012 at band E and expired in January 2022, 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. 4 applications are matched to Imperial House. 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 28 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GL50 2QJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Imperial House 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.
