Overview

About The Firs

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

The Firs is a detached house in Penkridge, Stafford, Stafford (ST19 5AH). It has a recorded floor area of 223 m² (around 2400 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows a C (score 71). The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 223 m² the property is well over the postcode median (159 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. 9 planning records sit against the property, 9 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works, an extension, change of use to residential and an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £999,000 is 17.5% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£354/sq ft) was about 52.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 The Firs is modelled from its 223 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ST19 5AH. 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 The Firs. 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 The Firs was lodged in July 2013 at band C and expired in July 2023, 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. 9 applications are matched to The Firs. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ST19 5AH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
The Firs is in council tax band G. 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.
