Overview

About 58a

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

58a is a mid-terrace house in Wem, Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury (SY4 5DW). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows a G (score 14), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at G across 2 certificates since September 2010. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 60), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 118 m² this is the 10th smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 28–148 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (14 versus a best of 68).

At 118 m² the property is well over the postcode median (59 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £145,000 sits 168.5% above the 2013 sale of £54,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£43/sq ft) was about 66.7% below the postcode norm. Last sold in October 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
