Overview

About 16 Hey Crescent

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

It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1155 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold.

Method

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 16 Hey Crescent is modelled from its 107 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL4 3LJ. 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 Hey Crescent. 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 Hey Crescent was lodged in October 2010 at band C and expired in October 2020, 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 16 Hey Crescent. 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 5 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL4 3LJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
16 Hey Crescent is in council tax band B. 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.
