About 15 Berkeley Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 Berkeley Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Whittington, Worcester, Worcester (WR5 2RF). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a G (score 14), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at G across 2 certificates since June 2011. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to E (score 42), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 101 m² it's 29.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (78 m² median across 30 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1996–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £263,000 sits 59.4% above the 2014 sale of £165,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£152/sq ft) was about 25.2% below the postcode norm. Last sold in March 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2002.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 15 Berkeley Close is modelled from its 101 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WR5 2RF. 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 15 Berkeley Close. 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 15 Berkeley Close was lodged in October 2015 at band G and expired in October 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. 1 application is matched to 15 Berkeley Close. 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 10 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WR5 2RF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 15 Berkeley Close 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.
