About 54 Prestbury Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
54 Prestbury Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Cheltenham (GL52 2DA). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 79 m² this is the 10th smallest of 20 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 54–260 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to D across 20 units on file. Other recorded features include a basement. Period features are noted in the property record.
Held since May 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £441,000 sits 167.3% above the 1999 sale of £165,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£194/sq ft) was about 30.4% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 54 Prestbury Road is modelled from its 79 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in GL52 2DA. 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 54 Prestbury 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 54 Prestbury Road was lodged in April 2012 at band E and expired in April 2022, 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. 4 applications are matched to 54 Prestbury 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 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GL52 2DA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 54 Prestbury Road is in council tax band F. 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.
