Overview

About 1 Merlin Coppice

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

1 Merlin Coppice is a five-bedroom detached house in Apley, Telford, Telford (TF1 6TB). It has a recorded floor area of 241 m² (around 2594 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band G. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. At 241 m² the property is well over the postcode median (172 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.

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 1 Merlin Coppice is modelled from its 241 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TF1 6TB. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 1 Merlin Coppice. 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 1 Merlin Coppice was lodged in February 2015 at band E and expired in February 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 1 Merlin Coppice. 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 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TF1 6TB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Merlin Coppice is in council tax band G. 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.
