About 5 Christina Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Christina Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Kempsey, Worcester, Worcester (WR5 3QX). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 672 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 62 m² it sits well below the postcode median (121 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1998–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £275,000 is 27.9% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£320/sq ft) was about 134.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2001.

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 5 Christina Close is modelled from its 62 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WR5 3QX. 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 5 Christina 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 5 Christina Close was lodged in January 2009 at band C 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 5 Christina 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 2 schools and 25 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WR5 3QX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Christina Close 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.
