Overview

About 3 Birch Row

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

3 Birch Row is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Pontesbury, Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury (SY5 0QQ). It has a recorded floor area of 15 m² (around 162 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 15 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (15–51 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to A, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 15 years, with the last transfer in July 2011. Today's modelled estimate of £113,000 sits 61.4% above the 2011 sale of £70,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£432/sq ft) was about 226% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 15 m² it sits well below the postcode median (50 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2013. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 3 Birch Row is modelled from its 15 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SY5 0QQ. 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 3 Birch Row. 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 3 Birch Row was lodged in October 2008 at band E and expired in October 2018, 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 3 Birch Row. 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 3 schools and 0 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SY5 0QQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Birch Row 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.
