About 5 Elm Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Elm Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Prestbury, Cheltenham, Cheltenham (GL52 3ED). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 740 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £356,000 sits 65.6% above the 2013 sale of £215,000. At 69 m² it sits well below the postcode median (99 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in January 2013, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 5 Elm Close is modelled from its 69 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in GL52 3ED. 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 5 Elm Close. 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 5 Elm Close was lodged in May 2009 at band C and expired in May 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. 1 application is matched to 5 Elm Close. 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 13 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GL52 3ED, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Elm Close is in council tax band D. 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.
