Overview

About 7 Darwin Close

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

7 Darwin Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Kempsey, Worcester, Worcester (WR5 3SD). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 939 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £323,000 sits 53.8% above the 2009 sale of £210,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
