About Flat 1
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 1 is a two-bedroom detached house in Shrewsbury (SY1 2JQ). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 529 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 49 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (48–49 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 3 units on file. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £131,000 sits 87.1% above the 2014 sale of £70,000. At 49 m² it sits well below the postcode median (84 m² across 26 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 12 years since the last transfer (June 2014).

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 Flat 1 is modelled from its 49 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SY1 2JQ. 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 Flat 1. 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 Flat 1 was lodged in December 2008 at band D and expired in December 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 Flat 1. 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 2JQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat 1 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.
