Overview

About 8 The Orchard

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

8 The Orchard is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Powick, Worcester, Worcester (WR2 4SE). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a C (score 70). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since September 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. At 122 m² the property is well over the postcode median (60 m² across 34 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £318,000 sits 189.2% above the 2001 sale of £109,950. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

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 8 The Orchard is modelled from its 122 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WR2 4SE. 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 8 The Orchard. 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 8 The Orchard was lodged in November 2015 at band C and expired in November 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 8 The Orchard. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 3 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WR2 4SE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 The Orchard is in council tax band C. 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.
