About 14 Longhirst Gardens

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

14 Longhirst Gardens is a detached house in Bicton Heath, Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury (SY3 5PF). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1316 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 14 Longhirst Gardens is modelled from its 122 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SY3 5PF. 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 14 Longhirst Gardens. 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 14 Longhirst Gardens 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 14 Longhirst Gardens. 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 10 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SY3 5PF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
14 Longhirst Gardens is in council tax band E. 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.
