Overview

About Fountain Cottage

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

Fountain Cottage is a detached house in Slindon, Stafford, Stafford (ST21 6LX). It has a recorded floor area of 218 m² (around 2347 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in August 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 Fountain Cottage is modelled from its 218 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ST21 6LX. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Fountain Cottage. 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 Fountain Cottage was lodged in July 2016 at band D and expired in July 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 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 Fountain Cottage. 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 1 school and 0 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ST21 6LX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Fountain Cottage is in council tax band F. 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.
