How the estimate is made
The estimate for 3 Orchard Close is modelled from its 143 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SY5 6BZ. 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.

About 3 Orchard Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Orchard Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Cressage, Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury (SY5 6BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 143 m² (around 1542 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2010) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
Untraded for 30 years, with the last transfer in September 1996. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £376,000 sits 342.4% above the 1996 sale of £85,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£55/sq ft) was about 85% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2003. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 3 Orchard Close is modelled from its 143 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SY5 6BZ. 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 Orchard Close. 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 Orchard Close was lodged in April 2010 at band D and expired in April 2020, 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 Orchard Close. 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 6BZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Orchard Close is in council tax band E. 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.
