At 44 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across Victoria Institute (44–132 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 25 units on file. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Period features are noted in the property record.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good.
At 44 m² it sits well below the postcode median (81 m² across 24 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2001–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 2% per year.

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 Victoria Institute is modelled from its 44 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WR1 1DF. 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 Victoria Institute. 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 Victoria Institute was lodged in March 2021 at band C and is valid until March 2031. 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 Victoria Institute. 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WR1 1DF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Victoria Institute is in council tax band C. 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.
