About 17 Dickens Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Dickens Street is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Peterborough (PE1 5EA). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2018) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe.
It hasn't traded since June 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 115 m² it's 23% larger than the typical home in the postcode (94 m² median across 20 EPCs). Across 2001–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 27.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £249,000 is 42.3% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£141/sq ft) was about 28.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

- The estimate for 17 Dickens Street is modelled from its 115 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PE1 5EA. 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 17 Dickens Street. 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 17 Dickens Street was lodged in May 2018 at band E and is valid until May 2028. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.

- Council tax band
- 17 Dickens Street 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.
