It has a recorded floor area of 191 m² (around 2056 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73).

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 38 Vanbrugh Gate is modelled from its 191 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SN3 1NQ. 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 38 Vanbrugh Gate. 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 38 Vanbrugh Gate was lodged in March 2015 at band D and expired in March 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. None is matched to 38 Vanbrugh Gate. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN3 1NQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
38 Vanbrugh Gate 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.
