About 98 Blackpole Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
98 Blackpole Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Worcester (WR4 9ST). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1143 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2008) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). The latest certificate is from September 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in March 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 106 m² the property is well over the postcode median (76 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £223,000 sits 65.2% above the 2009 sale of £134,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£118/sq ft) was about 18.9% below the postcode norm.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 98 Blackpole Road is modelled from its 106 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WR4 9ST. 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 98 Blackpole Road. 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 98 Blackpole Road was lodged in September 2008 at band E and expired in September 2018, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 98 Blackpole Road. 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 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WR4 9ST, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 98 Blackpole Road is in council tax band C. 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.
