Overview

About 3 Birchway

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

3 Birchway is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Hatfield (AL10 0PD). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in January 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Across 1999–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £417,000 sits 67.5% above the 2014 sale of £249,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 11 years ago, in December 2014.
