How the estimate is made
The estimate for 78 is modelled from its 108 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TF8 7BU. 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.

About 78
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
78 is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Buildwas, Telford, Telford (TF8 7BU). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on bottled lpg. The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1997–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £244,000 is 31.9% above the 2013 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£159/sq ft) was about 22.1% below the postcode norm. Last sold in August 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 78 is modelled from its 108 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TF8 7BU. 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 78. 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 78 was lodged in March 2013 at band F and expired in March 2023, 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. None is matched to 78. 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 2 schools and 10 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TF8 7BU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 78 is in council tax band B. 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.
