Overview

About Imperial House

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

Imperial House is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cheltenham (GL50 2QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 31 m² (around 334 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. At 31 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across Imperial House (31–131 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 7 units on file. The latest certificate (August 2023) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in July 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good.

At 31 m² it sits well below the postcode median (74 m² across 27 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 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 2007–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £671,000 is 11.3% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,807/sq ft) was about 664% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in June 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

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 Imperial House is modelled from its 31 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 August 2023 at band D and is valid until August 2033. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
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.
