How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat 1 is modelled from its 39 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SY1 1JH. 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.

About Flat 1
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 1 is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Shrewsbury (SY1 1JH). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2022) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since April 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1998–1999, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £138,000 sits 213.6% above the 1999 sale of £44,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£105/sq ft) was about 60.4% below the postcode norm. At 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (88 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 Flat 1 is modelled from its 39 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SY1 1JH. 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 Flat 1. 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 Flat 1 was lodged in January 2022 at band E and is valid until January 2032. 3 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 Flat 1. 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 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 19 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SY1 1JH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat 1 is in council tax band A. 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.
