Overview

About Norcott

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

Norcott is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Rushwick, Worcester, Worcester (WR2 5SU). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows an F (score 25), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 3 certificates since September 2015. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Period features are noted in the property record.

Today's modelled estimate of £336,000 sits 52.7% above the 2016 sale of £220,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£186/sq ft) was about 139.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 Norcott is modelled from its 110 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WR2 5SU. 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 Norcott. 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 Norcott was lodged in November 2025 at band F and is valid until November 2035. 3 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 Norcott. 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 8 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WR2 5SU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Norcott is in council tax band D. 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.
