Overview

About 8 Water Croft

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

8 Water Croft is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Long Meadow, Worcester, Worcester (WR4 0HR). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 506 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2024) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (December 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £171,000 is 36.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£247/sq ft) was about 33.7% 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 8 Water Croft is modelled from its 47 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WR4 0HR. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 8 Water Croft. 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 8 Water Croft was lodged in January 2024 at band E and is valid until January 2034. 2 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 8 Water Croft. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WR4 0HR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Water Croft is in council tax band B. 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.
