Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since May 2013. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.

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 178a is modelled from its 87 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PO3 5BZ. 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 178a. 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 178a was lodged in November 2015 at band D and expired in November 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 178a. 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 41 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PO3 5BZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
178a 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.
