Overview

About 18 Byfield Rise

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

18 Byfield Rise is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Worcester (WR5 1BA). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (September 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 98 m² the property is well over the postcode median (54 m² across 89 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1999–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £261,000 sits 51.7% above the 2017 sale of £172,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£163/sq ft) was about 20.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.
