About 16 Alton Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16 Alton Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Worcester (WR5 3RL). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 1999–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £283,000 is 41.5% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£269/sq ft) was about 47.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 11 years ago, in August 2015. At 69 m² it's 15.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (82 m² median across 25 EPCs).

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 16 Alton Road is modelled from its 69 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WR5 3RL. 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 16 Alton Road. 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 16 Alton Road was lodged in November 2015 at band D and expired in November 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 16 Alton Road. 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 11 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WR5 3RL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 16 Alton Road 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.
