About 126 Wylds Lane
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
126 Wylds Lane is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Worcester (WR5 1DN). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a corner plot.
At 70 m² it sits well below the postcode median (143 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 2002–2019, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.5% per year.

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 126 Wylds Lane is modelled from its 70 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WR5 1DN. 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 126 Wylds Lane. 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 126 Wylds Lane was lodged in September 2015 at band E and expired in September 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 126 Wylds Lane. 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 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WR5 1DN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 126 Wylds Lane 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.
