About 5 Castle Bank
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Castle Bank is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Stafford (ST16 1DP). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1525 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2011) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from September 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 142 m² it's 27.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (111 m² median across 15 EPCs). Last sold in May 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.

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 5 Castle Bank is modelled from its 142 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ST16 1DP. 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 5 Castle Bank. 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 5 Castle Bank was lodged in September 2011 at band D and expired in September 2021, 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 5 Castle Bank. 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 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ST16 1DP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Castle Bank 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.
