Overview

About 1 Highland Close

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

1 Highland Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Biddulph Moor, Stoke-On-Trent, Stoke On Trent (ST8 7LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 145 m² (around 1564 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in July 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 145 m² the property is well over the postcode median (76 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £319,000 sits 65.3% above the 2009 sale of £193,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£123/sq ft) was about 33.1% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 1 Highland Close is modelled from its 145 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ST8 7LJ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 1 Highland 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 1 Highland Close was lodged in November 2008 at band D and expired in November 2018, 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. 3 applications are matched to 1 Highland 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 9 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ST8 7LJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Highland 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.
