About 15 Downing Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 Downing Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Shrewsbury (SY3 6BG). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 685 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2010) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from April 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in December 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £233,000 sits 58.5% above the 2009 sale of £147,000. At 64 m² it's 15.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (55 m² median across 5 EPCs).

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 15 Downing Close is modelled from its 64 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SY3 6BG. 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 15 Downing Close. 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 15 Downing Close was lodged in April 2010 at band D and expired in April 2020, 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 15 Downing Close. 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 11 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SY3 6BG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 15 Downing Close 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.
