Overview

About 31 Buckingham Avenue

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

31 Buckingham Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cheltenham (GL51 8DA). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in December 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £247,000 sits 88.5% above the 2014 sale of £131,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). 12 years since the last transfer (March 2014).

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 31 Buckingham Avenue is modelled from its 83 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in GL51 8DA. 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 31 Buckingham Avenue. 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 31 Buckingham Avenue was lodged in September 2014 at band E and expired in September 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 31 Buckingham Avenue. 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 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GL51 8DA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
31 Buckingham Avenue is in council tax band B. 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.
