Overview

About 4 Union Street

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

4 Union Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bishops Castle (SY9 5AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 506 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

At 47 m² it sits well below the postcode median (86 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £178,000 is 22.8% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£287/sq ft) was about 95.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £145,000 in June 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2004.
