About 21 Finchcroft Lane

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

21 Finchcroft Lane is a three-bedroom detached house in Prestbury, Cheltenham, Cheltenham (GL52 5BD). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1152 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2010) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since November 2010. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2010, 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 21 Finchcroft Lane is modelled from its 107 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in GL52 5BD. 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 21 Finchcroft Lane. 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 21 Finchcroft Lane was lodged in November 2010 at band F and expired in November 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 21 Finchcroft Lane. 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 9 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GL52 5BD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
21 Finchcroft Lane is in council tax band E. 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.
