Overview

About 1 Elm Court

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

1 Elm Court is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Cheltenham (GL52 3JU). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. At 63 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across 1 Elm Court (52–63 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 75). The latest certificate (October 2013) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). On the market in July 2013 and unlisted since — roughly 13 years. Today's modelled estimate of £230,000 is 47.4% above the 2013 sale price.
