Overview

About 17 Alma Street

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

17 Alma Street is a mid-terrace house in Shrewsbury (SY3 8QL). It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 441 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 41 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 22 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 34–109 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (October 2022) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 4 certificates since November 2021. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. Main heating runs on electricity.

Today's modelled estimate of £130,000 is 48% below the 2023 sale of £250,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£566/sq ft) was about 239.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning application is currently pending a decision in 2025. At 41 m² it sits well below the postcode median (83 m² across 21 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Most recent transfer: November 2023 at £250,000.

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 17 Alma Street is modelled from its 41 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SY3 8QL. 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 17 Alma Street. 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 17 Alma Street was lodged in October 2022 at band E and is valid until October 2032. 4 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 17 Alma Street. 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 20 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SY3 8QL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
17 Alma Street is in council tax band A. 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.
