Overview

About 3 Barbourne Crescent

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

3 Barbourne Crescent is a semi-detached house in Worcester (WR1 3JF). It has a recorded floor area of 21 m² (around 226 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. At 21 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (21–277 m²). The building's EPC ratings span G to D across 16 units on file. The latest certificate (January 2022) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in June 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in August 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 21% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £587,000 is 23.6% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£2,101/sq ft) was about 918.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 21 m² it's 25% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (28 m² median across 15 EPCs).

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 3 Barbourne Crescent is modelled from its 21 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WR1 3JF. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 3 Barbourne Crescent. 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 3 Barbourne Crescent was lodged in January 2022 at band E and is valid until January 2032. 3 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 3 Barbourne Crescent. 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 3JF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Barbourne Crescent is in council tax band F. 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.
