About 18 Benbow Quay
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18 Benbow Quay is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Shrewsbury (SY1 2DL). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 778 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Main heating runs on electricity.

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 18 Benbow Quay is modelled from its 72 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SY1 2DL. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 18 Benbow Quay. 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 18 Benbow Quay 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. None is matched to 18 Benbow Quay. 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 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SY1 2DL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 18 Benbow Quay is in council tax band C. 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.
