Overview

About The Smithy

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

The Smithy is a two-bedroom detached house in Rossett, Wrexham, Wrexham (LL12 0DG). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in July 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot and a cul-de-sac position.

At 63 m² it sits well below the postcode median (101 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 2 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Across 2013–2020, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £284,000 is 26.2% above the 2020 sale price. Last sale on file: £225,000 in July 2020.

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 The Smithy is modelled from its 63 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LL12 0DG. 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 The Smithy. 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 The Smithy was lodged in August 2016 at band D and expired in August 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 The Smithy. 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. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from LL12 0DG.
Council tax band
The Smithy is in council tax band E. 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.
