Overview

About Flat 4

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

Flat 4 is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Cheltenham (GL52 2DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 542 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A. At 50 m² this is the 4th smallest of 7 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 34–86 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (72 versus a worst of 32). The latest certificate (March 2012) shows a C (score 72). The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 50 m² it sits well below the postcode median (75 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 2006–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £131,000 is 13.9% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£212/sq ft) was about 22.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in September 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 Flat 4 is modelled from its 50 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in GL52 2DJ. 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 Flat 4. 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 Flat 4 was lodged in March 2012 at band C and expired in March 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. None is matched to Flat 4. 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 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GL52 2DJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Flat 4 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.
