About 1 Bower Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Bower Street is a five-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Stoke On Trent (ST1 3BH). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1220 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2010) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since January 1997 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 113 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £122,000 sits 502.5% above the 1997 sale of £20,250. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£17/sq ft) was about 77.4% below the postcode norm.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 1 Bower Street is modelled from its 113 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ST1 3BH. 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 1 Bower Street. 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 1 Bower Street was lodged in August 2010 at band E and expired in August 2020, 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 1 Bower Street. 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 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ST1 3BH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Bower Street 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.
