About 23 Comet Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
23 Comet Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Shrewsbury (SY1 4AY). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2012. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Across 2000–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £235,000 sits 71.5% above the 2013 sale of £137,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£127/sq ft) was about 23.6% below the postcode norm. Last changed hands 14 years ago, in January 2013.

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 23 Comet Drive is modelled from its 100 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SY1 4AY. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 23 Comet Drive. 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 23 Comet Drive was lodged in December 2013 at band D and expired in December 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. None is matched to 23 Comet Drive. 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 18 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SY1 4AY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 23 Comet Drive 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.
