Overview

About 138 Townhead Road

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

138 Townhead Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Sheffield (S17 3AQ). It has a recorded floor area of 194 m² (around 2088 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in April 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 194 m² it sits well below the postcode median (466 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £909,000 is 47.8% above the 2007 sale price.

How to read this page

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 138 Townhead Road is modelled from its 194 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in S17 3AQ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 138 Townhead Road. 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 138 Townhead Road was lodged in December 2015 at band D and expired in December 2025, 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 138 Townhead Road. 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 5 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from S17 3AQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
138 Townhead Road is in council tax band G. 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.
