Overview

About 2 Barbourne Court

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

2 Barbourne Court is a four-bedroom detached house in Worcester (WR1 3LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 21 m² (around 226 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since April 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while main heating dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 59). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 2 Barbourne Court is modelled from its 21 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WR1 3LJ. 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 Barbourne Court. 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 Barbourne Court was lodged in October 2011 at band E and expired in October 2021, 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. 4 applications are matched to 2 Barbourne Court. 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 3LJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 Barbourne Court 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.
