How the estimate is made
The estimate for 15 Rouse Close is modelled from its 63 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ST16 1AZ. 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 15 Rouse Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 Rouse Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Stafford (ST16 1AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2012) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
At 63 m² it sits well below the postcode median (110 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in July 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 1998–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £351,000 is 32.5% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£391/sq ft) was about 116.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 15 Rouse Close is modelled from its 63 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ST16 1AZ. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 15 Rouse Close. 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 Rouse Close was lodged in September 2012 at band D and expired in September 2022, 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 15 Rouse Close. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ST16 1AZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 15 Rouse Close is in council tax band D. 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.
