About 8 Dovecote Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Dovecote Close is a semi-detached house in Peterborough (PE1 3TQ). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an F (score 29), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (August 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 95), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 31 years, with the last transfer in March 1995. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 45 m² it sits well below the postcode median (78 m² across 20 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £151,000 sits 308.1% above the 1995 sale of £37,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£76/sq ft) was about 40.2% below the postcode norm.

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 8 Dovecote Close is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PE1 3TQ. 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 8 Dovecote 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 8 Dovecote Close was lodged in October 2014 at band F and expired in October 2024, 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 8 Dovecote 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 33 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from PE1 3TQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Dovecote Close 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.
