8 Cotswolds is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Hatfield (AL10 8JR). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since December 2000 — that's 26 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 91 m² the property is well over the postcode median (52 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £402,000 sits 249.6% above the 2000 sale of £115,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£117/sq ft) was about 42.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 8 Cotswolds. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
