About 38 Shortwood Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
38 Shortwood Close is a mid-terrace house in Nottingham (NG1 7JF). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (July 2013); the latest reading is one band lower.

The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 38 Shortwood Close is modelled from its 72 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NG1 7JF. 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 38 Shortwood Close. 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 38 Shortwood Close was lodged in August 2016 at band E and expired in August 2026, 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 38 Shortwood Close. 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 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 39 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NG1 7JF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 38 Shortwood Close is in council tax band A. 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.
