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 £581,000 sits 66% above the 2009 sale of £350,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£176/sq ft) was about 19.4% 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.

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 The Meadows is modelled from its 185 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WR5 2QU. 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. 2 sales are recorded for The Meadows. 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 The Meadows was lodged in January 2009 at band F and expired in January 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. 1 application is matched to The Meadows. 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 2 schools and 28 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WR5 2QU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
The Meadows is in council tax band F. 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.
