About 17 Brain Close
17 Brain Close is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Hatfield (AL10 8BT). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (February 2016); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
It hasn't traded since August 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £386,000 sits 306.3% above the 2000 sale of £95,000.
