About 13a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
13a is a semi-detached house in Shrewsbury (SY1 2DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 67 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across 13a (48–67 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a C (score 71). The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 2003–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £247,000 is 44.5% below the 2016 sale of £445,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. At 67 m² it's 15.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (58 m² median across 21 EPCs). Last sold in October 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

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 13a is modelled from its 67 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SY1 2DJ. 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 13a. 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 13a was lodged in March 2016 at band C and expired in March 2026, 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. None is matched to 13a. 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 21 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SY1 2DJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 13a 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.
