Overview

About 21 High Cross Avenue

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

21 High Cross Avenue is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Cross Houses, Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury (SY5 6LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (April 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Average to Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 115), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Most recent transfer: March 2021 at £146,000. Across the public record there are 6 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. At 54 m² it's 17% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (65 m² median across 34 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £187,000 is 28.1% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£251/sq ft) was about 39.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
