About 4 Canal View
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

It has a recorded floor area of 388 m² (around 4172 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band G. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. The latest certificate (November 2009) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from November 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, a porch and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2003–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £815,000 is 40.5% above the 2018 sale price.

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 4 Canal View is modelled from its 388 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in L31 1JQ. 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 4 Canal View. 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 4 Canal View was lodged in November 2009 at band D and expired in November 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 4 Canal View. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from L31 1JQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 4 Canal View is in council tax band G. 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.
