About 251 London Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
251 London Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Charlton Kings, Cheltenham, Cheltenham (GL52 6YG). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2012) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since February 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement. Period features are noted in the property record.
At 85 m² it sits well below the postcode median (126 m² across 23 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Sold June 2021 for £292,500. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. Across 2002–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £339,000 is 15.9% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£320/sq ft) was about 47.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 251 London Road is modelled from its 85 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in GL52 6YG. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 251 London 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 251 London Road was lodged in June 2012 at band F and expired in June 2022, 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. None is matched to 251 London 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 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GL52 6YG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 251 London Road is in council tax band B. 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.
