Overview

About 19 Desert Orchid Road

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

19 Desert Orchid Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Prestbury, Cheltenham, Cheltenham (GL52 5FD). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft) and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2018) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 87).

It hasn't traded since June 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £457,000 sits 112.6% above the 2009 sale of £215,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£182/sq ft) was about 29.7% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include new windows and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 19 Desert Orchid Road is modelled from its 110 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in GL52 5FD. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 19 Desert Orchid 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 19 Desert Orchid Road was lodged in August 2018 at band C and is valid until August 2028. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 19 Desert Orchid 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 9 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GL52 5FD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
19 Desert Orchid Road 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.
