About Highlands
Highlands is a detached house in Menith Wood, Worcester, Worcester (WR6 6UB). It has a recorded floor area of 242 m² (around 2605 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since June 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. At 242 m² the property is well over the postcode median (92 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £553,000 sits 101.1% above the 2009 sale of £275,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£106/sq ft) was about 50.4% below the postcode norm.
