About 7a
7a is a semi-detached house in Digswell, Welwyn, Welwyn (AL6 0DD). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2018) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since.

Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £606,000 sits 78.2% above the 2007 sale of £340,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
