Overview

About Ash Villa

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

Ash Villa is a four-bedroom detached house in Kempsey, Worcester, Worcester (WR5 3QL). It has a recorded floor area of 270 m² (around 2906 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 91). The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. 7 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, an annexe and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 83.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £889,000 is 38.9% above the 2007 sale price.

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 Ash Villa is modelled from its 270 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WR5 3QL. 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 Ash Villa. 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 Ash Villa was lodged in October 2015 at band C and expired in October 2025, 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. 7 applications are matched to Ash Villa. 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 1 school and 19 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WR5 3QL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Ash Villa is in council tax band G. 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.
