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.

Overview

About 9 Firecrest Drive

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

9 Firecrest Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Apley, Telford, Telford (TF1 6FZ). It has a recorded floor area of 131 m² (around 1410 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2010. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 9 Firecrest Drive is modelled from its 131 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TF1 6FZ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 9 Firecrest Drive. 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 9 Firecrest Drive was lodged in February 2016 at band D and expired in February 2026, 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 9 Firecrest Drive. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 13 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TF1 6FZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
9 Firecrest Drive is in council tax band D. 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.
