The estimate for 2a is modelled from its 18 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WR5 3JG. 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.

About 2a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2a is a two-bedroom detached house in Kempsey, Worcester, Worcester (WR5 3JG). It has a recorded floor area of 18 m² (around 194 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. At 18 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (18–269 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 14 units on file. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since December 2010. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 18 m² it sits well below the postcode median (89 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £228,000 is 34.9% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£872/sq ft) was about 342.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 2a is modelled from its 18 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WR5 3JG. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 2a. 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 2a was lodged in August 2014 at band C and expired in August 2024, 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 2a. 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 23 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WR5 3JG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2a 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.
