Overview

About 15 Derby Road

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

15 Derby Road is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Worcester (WR5 1AE). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in January 2016 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since May 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 108 m² the property is well over the postcode median (82 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 87% of similar EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Across 1998–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 15% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £265,000 is 45.6% above the 2008 sale price.
