Overview

About Apartment 8

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

Apartment 8 is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Shrewsbury (SY1 2EH). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. At 73 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (36–73 m²). The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (June 2026) returns a B (score 83), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in July 2016 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since June 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 73 m² it's 23.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (59 m² median across 19 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 84% of similar EPCs). Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £151,000 is 12.7% above the 2007 sale price. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2020.

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 Apartment 8 is modelled from its 73 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SY1 2EH. 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 Apartment 8. 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 Apartment 8 was lodged in June 2026 at band B and is valid until June 2036. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Apartment 8. 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 20 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SY1 2EH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Apartment 8 is in council tax band B. 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.
