Overview

About 1 Black & White Cottage

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

1 Black & White Cottage is a semi-detached house in Norton, Worcester, Worcester (WR5 2PS). It has a recorded floor area of 134 m² (around 1442 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a G (score 13), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (November 2015); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to E (score 39), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 2004 — that's 22 years off the open market, well above the local norm. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £353,000 sits 83.9% above the 2004 sale of £192,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£133/sq ft) was about 51.5% below the postcode norm. 10 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, an annexe and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 1 Black & White Cottage is modelled from its 134 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WR5 2PS. 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 1 Black & White Cottage. 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 1 Black & White Cottage was lodged in November 2015 at band G and expired in November 2025, 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. 10 applications are matched to 1 Black & White Cottage. 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 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WR5 2PS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Black & White Cottage 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.
