About 18 Lemsford Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18 Lemsford Road is an end-of-terrace house in Hatfield (AL10 0DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2023) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in March 2007. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £373,000 sits 113.2% above the 2007 sale of £174,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£220/sq ft) was about 43.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2001. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs).
