About 26 Ash Lea
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
26 Ash Lea is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Minsterley, Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury (SY5 0BU). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2022) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in November 2011 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 117), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 50 m² it sits well below the postcode median (82 m² across 57 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £181,000 is 29.3% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£260/sq ft) was about 116.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 26 Ash Lea is modelled from its 50 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SY5 0BU. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 26 Ash Lea. 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 26 Ash Lea was lodged in February 2022 at band C and is valid until February 2032. 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 26 Ash Lea. 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 2 schools and 0 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SY5 0BU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 26 Ash Lea is in council tax band B. 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.
