About Victoria Institute
Victoria Institute is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Worcester (WR1 1DF). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. At 79 m² this is the 12th smallest of 25 units on EPC record in Victoria Institute, where floor areas span 44–132 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (42 versus a best of 84). The latest certificate (June 2018) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62).
Held since November 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 4% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£241/sq ft) was about 17.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
