About 16 The Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1518 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2013) returns a high B (score 86), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Very Good. Main heating runs on oil.

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 16 The Street is modelled from its 141 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP28 8HZ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 16 The Street. 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 16 The Street was lodged in September 2013 at band B and expired in September 2023, 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. 1 application is matched to 16 The Street. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 7 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP28 8HZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 16 The Street 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.
