The estimate for Flat 3 is modelled from its 35 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WR1 1JL. 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 Flat 3
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 3 is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Worcester (WR1 1JL). It has a recorded floor area of 35 m² (around 377 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2021) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 35 m² this is the 7th smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 24–51 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (41 versus a best of 63).
Held since April 2001 — that's 25 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. 12 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include a basement excavation and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £190,000 is 38.7% above the 2001 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£364/sq ft) was about 361% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 Flat 3 is modelled from its 35 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WR1 1JL. 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 Flat 3. 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 Flat 3 was lodged in November 2021 at band E and is valid until November 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. 12 applications are matched to Flat 3. 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 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WR1 1JL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat 3 is in council tax band A. 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.
