162a, London Road, Worcester, WR5 2EJ
About 162a
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 £459,000 sits 179.9% 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.
