Overview

About 1 Bala Way

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

1 Bala Way is a four-bedroom detached house in Worcester (WR5 3UF). It has a recorded floor area of 217 m² (around 2336 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (March 2010); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

It hasn't traded since February 2011, a hold of 15 years that's notably long for the area. At 217 m² the property is well over the postcode median (109 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £474,000 sits 101.7% above the 2011 sale of £235,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£101/sq ft) was about 25.4% below the postcode norm.
