About 4 Albert Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Albert Street is a mid-terrace house in Shrewsbury (SY1 2HT). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. At 66 m² this is the 10th smallest of 38 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 35–190 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since October 2012. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in April 1997. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £171,000 sits 173.6% above the 1997 sale of £62,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£88/sq ft) was about 34.4% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2021. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 66 m² it sits well below the postcode median (95 m² across 37 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 86% of similar EPCs).

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 4 Albert Street is modelled from its 66 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SY1 2HT. 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 4 Albert Street. 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 4 Albert Street was lodged in September 2013 at band C and expired in September 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 4 Albert Street. 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 2HT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 4 Albert Street 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.
