About Longcroft House

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Longcroft House is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Welwyn Garden City (AL8 6DD). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2021) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (July 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on electricity. At 62 m² this is the 6th smallest of 8 units on EPC record in Longcroft House, where floor areas span 37–82 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 8 units on file.

It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £306,000 is 36% above the 2007 sale price.
