Overview

About 162a

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

162a is a five-bedroom detached house in Worcester (WR5 2EJ). It has a recorded floor area of 248 m² (around 2666 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since June 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 248 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £442,000 sits 169.5% above the 2009 sale of £164,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£62/sq ft) was about 70.6% below the postcode norm.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 162a is modelled from its 248 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WR5 2EJ. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 162a. 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 162a was lodged in May 2011 at band C and expired in May 2021, 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 162a. 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 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WR5 2EJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
162a is in council tax band C. 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.
