How the estimate is made
The estimate for Covington House is modelled from its 308 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SY3 0BS. 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.

About Covington House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Covington House is a six-bedroom detached house in Lyth Bank, Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury (SY3 0BS). It has a recorded floor area of 308 m² (around 3315 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since December 2008. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 308 m² the property is well over the postcode median (178 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 Covington House is modelled from its 308 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SY3 0BS. 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. No sale is recorded for Covington House, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 Covington House was lodged in May 2015 at band D and expired in May 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 Covington House. 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 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 3 schools and 0 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SY3 0BS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Covington House is in council tax band G. 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.
