Overview

About The Meadows

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

The Meadows is a detached house in Norton, Worcester, Worcester (WR5 2QU). It has a recorded floor area of 185 m² (around 1986 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 41). Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 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. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £552,000 sits 57.7% above the 2009 sale of £350,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£176/sq ft) was about 16.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2018. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
