Overview

About 42 St Stephens Road

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

42 St Stephens Road is a detached house in Cheltenham (GL51 3AD). It has a recorded floor area of 343 m² (around 3692 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since December 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 343 m² the property is well over the postcode median (93 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1995–1996, sale prices on this property compounded at 31% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £977,000 sits 271.5% above the 1996 sale of £263,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£71/sq ft) was about 70% below the postcode norm. 6 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 42 St Stephens Road is modelled from its 343 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in GL51 3AD. 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 42 St Stephens Road. 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 42 St Stephens Road was lodged in June 2014 at band E and expired in June 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 6 applications are matched to 42 St Stephens Road. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GL51 3AD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
42 St Stephens Road 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.
