About Moss Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Moss Cottage is a detached house in Sheffield (S17 3BD). It has a recorded floor area of 223 m² (around 2400 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (March 2013); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £776,000 sits 82.6% above the 2013 sale of £425,000. On the market in May 2013 and unlisted since — roughly 13 years. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused.

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 Moss Cottage is modelled from its 223 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in S17 3BD. 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 Moss Cottage. 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 Moss Cottage was lodged in February 2014 at band G and expired in February 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. 2 applications are matched to Moss Cottage. 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 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from S17 3BD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Moss Cottage is in council tax band F. 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.
