Overview

About Flat 5

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

Flat 5 is a semi-detached house in Cheltenham (GL52 6EQ). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 38 m² this is the 7th smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 24–52 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (June 2021) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since September 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since July 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £142,000 sits 273.7% above the 1999 sale of £38,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£93/sq ft) was about 63.5% below the postcode norm. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs).

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 5 is modelled from its 38 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in GL52 6EQ. 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 Flat 5. 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 5 was lodged in June 2021 at band D and is valid until June 2031. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Flat 5. 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 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GL52 6EQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Flat 5 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.
