About 9 The Drive

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

9 The Drive is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Powick, Worcester, Worcester (WR2 4SA). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 72 m² it's 26% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (97 m² median across 30 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). Across 2009–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £315,000 is 40% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£290/sq ft) was about 79.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in December 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 9 years.
