Overview

About 16 Benbow Quay

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

16 Benbow Quay is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Shrewsbury (SY1 2DL). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2024) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 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 72 m² it's 24.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (58 m² median across 89 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £238,000 is 30.8% above the 2007 sale price.
