Overview

About Birds House

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

Birds House is a three-bedroom detached house in Whittington, Worcester, Worcester (WR5 2NN). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1316 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2011) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 55). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 122 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £533,000 is 27.2% above the 2017 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 Birds House is modelled from its 122 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WR5 2NN. 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 Birds House. 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 Birds House was lodged in July 2011 at band E and expired in July 2021, 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. 1 application is matched to Birds House. 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 11 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WR5 2NN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Birds House is in council tax band E. 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.
