Overview

About 18 Otley Close

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

18 Otley Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Worcester (WR4 0BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 985 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Held since July 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £337,000 sits 374.6% above the 1997 sale of £71,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£72/sq ft) was about 56.5% below the postcode norm.
