Overview

About The Woodlands 1a

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

At 51 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across The Woodlands 1a (37–51 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (47 versus a best of 70). The latest certificate (March 2012) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve.

Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor.

How 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 The Woodlands 1a is modelled from its 51 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WD24 5AX. 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 The Woodlands 1a. 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 The Woodlands 1a was lodged in March 2012 at band E and expired in March 2022, 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 The Woodlands 1a. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WD24 5AX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
