How the estimate is made
The estimate for Imperial House is modelled from its 131 m² EPC floor area, its 2 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.

About Imperial House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Imperial House is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cheltenham (GL50 2QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 131 m² (around 1410 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. At 131 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across Imperial House (31–131 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (September 2022) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 131 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 27 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs). 3 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 2 is the typical count. 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. Across 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £600,000 is 44.6% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£294/sq ft) was about 24.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 131 m² EPC floor area, its 2 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. 2 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 September 2022 at band E and is valid until September 2032. 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 D. 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.
