Overview

About 10 The Firs

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

10 The Firs is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Whittington, Worcester, Worcester (WR5 2RP). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £170,000 sits 126.7% above the 2000 sale of £75,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£102/sq ft) was about 30.7% below the postcode norm.

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 10 The Firs is modelled from its 68 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WR5 2RP. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 10 The Firs. 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 10 The Firs was lodged in March 2013 at band E and expired in March 2023, 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. None is matched to 10 The Firs. 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 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WR5 2RP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
10 The Firs 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.
