About 7 Edward Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
7 Edward Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Worcester (WR5 1DE). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 495 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. At 46 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (46–116 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £124,000 is 15.3% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£217/sq ft) was about 24.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 7 Edward Close is modelled from its 46 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WR5 1DE. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 7 Edward Close. 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 7 Edward Close was lodged in March 2016 at band D and expired in March 2026, 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 7 Edward Close. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WR5 1DE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 7 Edward Close is in council tax band A. 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.
