About 18 Royal Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18 Royal Court is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Worcester (WR5 2DL). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 72 m² the property is well over the postcode median (44 m² across 51 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 18 Royal Court is modelled from its 72 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WR5 2DL. 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 18 Royal Court. 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 18 Royal Court was lodged in October 2008 at band D and expired in October 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 18 Royal Court. 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 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WR5 2DL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 18 Royal Court 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.
