196 198 is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Worcester (WR2 5PF). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include notable views and a basement. The latest certificate (January 2026) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in September 2020 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73).
At 117 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 34 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1998–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £294,000 is 38% above the 2021 sale price. Most recent transfer: April 2021 at £213,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
