Overview

About 24 Rooks Hill

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

24 Rooks Hill is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Welwyn Garden City (AL8 6ET). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1089 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 101 m² the property is well over the postcode median (48 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 11 planning records sit against the property, 8 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include tree works, an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 2006–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £645,000 is 43.3% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£413/sq ft) was about 22% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in June 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
