How the estimate is made
The estimate for 7 Birch Hill is modelled from its 40 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NP20 6JD. 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.

About 7 Birch Hill
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 432 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2011) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65).

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 7 Birch Hill is modelled from its 40 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NP20 6JD. 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 7 Birch Hill. 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 7 Birch Hill was lodged in September 2011 at band E and expired in September 2021, 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. 2 applications are matched to 7 Birch Hill. 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. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from NP20 6JD.
- Council tax band
- 7 Birch Hill is in council tax band D. 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.
