Overview

About Merridale

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

Merridale is a detached house in Cheltenham (GL52 2BD). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 561 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 52 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 5 units on EPC record in Merridale, where floor areas span 43–62 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (44 versus a best of 72). The latest certificate (October 2009) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 55). The latest certificate is from October 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 Merridale is modelled from its 52 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in GL52 2BD. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Merridale. 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 Merridale was lodged in October 2009 at band E and expired in October 2019, 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. None is matched to Merridale. 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 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GL52 2BD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Merridale is in council tax band A. 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.
