The estimate for 8a is modelled from its 92 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SY5 0RR. 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.

Overview

About 8a

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

8a is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Pontesbury, Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury (SY5 0RR). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2015) returns a high B (score 87), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 1999–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £249,000 is 46.5% above the 2012 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£172/sq ft) was about 17.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in June 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.

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 8a is modelled from its 92 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SY5 0RR. 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 8a. 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 8a was lodged in June 2015 at band B and expired in June 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 8a. 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 0RR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8a 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.
