About 2 Portland Walk
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Portland Walk is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Worcester (WR1 2NR). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since October 2011. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in October 1999. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £225,000 sits 275% above the 1999 sale of £59,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£76/sq ft) was about 53.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2024. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 73 m² it's 26.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (99 m² median across 19 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs).

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 2 Portland Walk is modelled from its 73 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WR1 2NR. 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 2 Portland Walk. 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 2 Portland Walk was lodged in April 2014 at band E and expired in April 2024, 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. 1 application is matched to 2 Portland Walk. 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 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WR1 2NR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2 Portland Walk 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.
