Overview

About 17 Britannia Square

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

17 Britannia Square is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Worcester (WR1 3DG). It has a recorded floor area of 220 m² (around 2368 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a G (score 17), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (November 2013); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 5-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in July 1998. At 220 m² it's 26.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (174 m² median across 9 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1996–1998, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £712,000 sits 295.6% above the 1998 sale of £180,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£76/sq ft) was about 67.6% below the postcode norm.
