How the estimate is made
The estimate for The Cottage is modelled from its 106 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in S17 4AP. 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.

About The Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
The Cottage is a two-bedroom detached house in Totley, Sheffield, Sheffield (S17 4AP). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1139 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2003–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £433,000 is 41% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£269/sq ft) was about 18.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 8 years since the last transfer (June 2018). At 106 m² it's 23.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (139 m² median across 10 EPCs).

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 The Cottage is modelled from its 106 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in S17 4AP. 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 The 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 The Cottage was lodged in December 2008 at band D and expired in December 2018, 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. 3 applications are matched to The 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 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from S17 4AP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- The Cottage is in council tax band E. 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.
