How the estimate is made
The estimate for Little Otherton is modelled from its 97 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WR6 5LS. 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.

About Little Otherton
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Little Otherton is a semi-detached house in Cotheridge, Worcester, Worcester (WR6 5LS). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 Little Otherton is modelled from its 97 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WR6 5LS. 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. No sale is recorded for Little Otherton, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 Little Otherton was lodged in October 2014 at band E and expired in October 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Little Otherton. 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 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WR6 5LS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Little Otherton 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.
