Overview

About 5 Furlong Cottages

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

5 Furlong Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Minsterley, Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury (SY5 0AF). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 961 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2011) shows a C (score 70). The latest certificate is from March 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £240,000 sits 54.8% above the 2011 sale of £155,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002.

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 5 Furlong Cottages is modelled from its 89 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SY5 0AF. 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 5 Furlong Cottages. 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 5 Furlong Cottages was lodged in March 2011 at band C and expired in March 2021, 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. 1 application is matched to 5 Furlong Cottages. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 0 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SY5 0AF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Furlong Cottages 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.
