Overview

About 172 London Road

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

172 London Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Worcester (WR5 2EJ). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 703 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 59). The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in September 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 65 m² it's 19.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (82 m² median across 14 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £218,000 is 34.6% above the 2009 sale price.

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 172 London Road is modelled from its 65 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales 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. 3 sales are recorded for 172 London Road. 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 172 London Road was lodged in May 2009 at band E and expired in May 2019, 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 172 London Road. 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
172 London Road 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.
