How the estimate is made

The estimate for 4a is modelled from its 72 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SY3 0QQ. 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.

Overview

About 4a

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

4a is a two-bedroom detached house in Bayston Hill, Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury (SY3 0QQ). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.

At 72 m² it sits well below the postcode median (106 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Across 2004–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.6% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£419/sq ft) was about 101.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold September 2022 for £325,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Method

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 4a is modelled from its 72 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SY3 0QQ. 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 4a. 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 4a was lodged in July 2012 at band D and expired in July 2022, 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 4a. 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 6 schools and 0 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SY3 0QQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4a is in council tax band C. 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.
