About 4 Brain Close
4 Brain Close is a detached house in Hatfield (AL10 8BT). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 511 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2010) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (April 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from June 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 47 m² this is the 4th smallest of 26 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 39–92 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 26 units on file.
It hasn't traded since July 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 £190,000 sits 216.7% above the 2000 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£117/sq ft) was about 51.1% below the postcode norm. At 47 m² it sits well below the postcode median (81 m² across 25 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
