Overview

About 40a

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

40a is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Worcester (WR2 5AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 18 m² (around 194 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. 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. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (November 2020) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (April 2010); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 98), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

At 18 m² it sits well below the postcode median (52 m² across 30 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1996–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £117,000 sits 56% above the 2014 sale of £75,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£387/sq ft) was about 171.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in June 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years.

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 40a is modelled from its 18 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WR2 5AJ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 40a. 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 40a was lodged in November 2020 at band E and is valid until November 2030. 5 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 40a. 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 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WR2 5AJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
40a 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.
