Overview

About 6 Orchid Close

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

6 Orchid Close is a detached house in Donnington Wood, Telford, Telford (TF2 7RN). It has a recorded floor area of 134 m² (around 1442 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2013. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since March 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 134 m² the property is well over the postcode median (72 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £280,000 sits 308.8% above the 1996 sale of £68,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£47/sq ft) was about 58.6% below the postcode norm.

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 6 Orchid Close is modelled from its 134 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TF2 7RN. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 6 Orchid Close. 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 6 Orchid Close was lodged in February 2014 at band D and expired in February 2024, 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 6 Orchid Close. 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. The 12 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TF2 7RN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
6 Orchid Close 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.
