Overview

About Birchenwood Farm

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

It has a recorded floor area of 161 m² (around 1734 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

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 Birchenwood Farm is modelled from its 161 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WR2 6QG. 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 Birchenwood Farm. 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 Birchenwood Farm was lodged in March 2012 at band D and expired in March 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to Birchenwood Farm. 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 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WR2 6QG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Birchenwood Farm is in council tax band F. 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.
