About 5 Crescent Cottages
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Crescent Cottages is a semi-detached house in Grendon Underwood, Aylesbury, Aylesbury (HP18 0SW). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since July 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 97 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £312,000 sits 89.1% above the 2011 sale of £165,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£158/sq ft) was about 48.6% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in September 2011 and unlisted since — roughly 15 years.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 5 Crescent Cottages is modelled from its 97 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HP18 0SW. 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 5 Crescent Cottages. 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 5 Crescent Cottages was lodged in June 2014 at band F and expired in June 2024, 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. 3 applications are matched to 5 Crescent Cottages. 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 1 school and 14 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP18 0SW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Crescent Cottages is in council tax band C. 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.
