Overview

About Acton Mill Farm

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

Acton Mill Farm is a mid-terrace house in Acton Trussell, Stafford, Stafford (ST17 0RD). It has a recorded floor area of 149 m² (around 1604 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in May 2012 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 98), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since November 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £389,000 sits 200.4% above the 1997 sale of £129,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£81/sq ft) was about 53.8% below the postcode norm. At 149 m² it's 17.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (180 m² median across 6 EPCs).

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 Acton Mill Farm is modelled from its 149 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ST17 0RD. 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 Acton Mill Farm. 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 Acton Mill Farm was lodged in March 2015 at band C and expired in March 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 Acton Mill Farm. 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 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ST17 0RD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Acton Mill Farm is in council tax band E. 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.
