How the estimate is made
The estimate for 3 is modelled from its 103 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SY5 6HZ. 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
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cross Houses, Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury (SY5 6HZ). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 97), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Sold August 2021 for £249,999. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. Across 1999–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £313,000 is 25.2% above the 2021 sale price.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 is modelled from its 103 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SY5 6HZ. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 3. 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 was lodged in January 2015 at band E and expired in January 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 3. 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 6HZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 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.
