Get started24 The Swallows is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Welwyn Garden City (AL7 1BY). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in January 2011 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 93), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in May 1998. 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 £327,000 sits 354.2% above the 1998 sale of £72,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£129/sq ft) was about 59% below the postcode norm.
