About 4 Cooks Way
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Cooks Way is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Hatfield (AL10 8XT). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since September 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
One planning record on file: a garage conversion approved in 2011. Past consents include a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 65 m² it's 22.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (53 m² median across 27 EPCs). Across 2011–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 13% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £404,000 is 12.2% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£515/sq ft) was about 75.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 4 Cooks Way is modelled from its 65 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL10 8XT. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 4 Cooks Way. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 4 Cooks Way was lodged in June 2015 at band D and expired in June 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 4 Cooks Way. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 12 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL10 8XT, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 4 Cooks Way is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
