About 8 Holcroft Way
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Holcroft Way is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cross Houses, Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury (SY5 6LQ). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 859 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2012) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 80 m² it's 15.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (69 m² median across 12 EPCs). Across 1999–2020, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.2% per year.

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 8 Holcroft Way is modelled from its 80 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SY5 6LQ. 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 8 Holcroft Way. 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 8 Holcroft Way was lodged in January 2012 at band D and expired in January 2022, 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 8 Holcroft Way. 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. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from SY5 6LQ. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Holcroft Way 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.
