About 23a
23a is a four-bedroom detached house in Welwyn (AL6 0DS). It has a recorded floor area of 134 m² (around 1442 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The home occupies a corner plot.
Today's modelled estimate of £709,000 sits 54.1% above the 2013 sale of £460,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£319/sq ft) was about 16.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). Last changed hands 13 years ago, in August 2013.
