About Laughernefield House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Laughernefield House is a four-bedroom detached house in Lower Broadheath, Worcester, Worcester (WR2 6RF). It has a recorded floor area of 378 m² (around 4069 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2023) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since July 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area.

At 378 m² the property is well over the postcode median (99 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2004–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 17.2% per year.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Laughernefield House is modelled from its 378 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WR2 6RF. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Laughernefield House. 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 Laughernefield House was lodged in May 2023 at band E and is valid until May 2033. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.
