Overview

About 15 Birchall Avenue

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

15 Birchall Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Whiston, Rotherham, Rotherham (S60 4ED). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since October 2012. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 97 m² it's 24.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (78 m² median across 33 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2001–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.7% per year.

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 15 Birchall Avenue is modelled from its 97 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in S60 4ED. 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 15 Birchall Avenue. 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 15 Birchall Avenue was lodged in July 2014 at band E and expired in July 2024, 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 15 Birchall Avenue. 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 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from S60 4ED, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
15 Birchall Avenue 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.
