About 15 Fordwich Road
15 Fordwich Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Welwyn Garden City (AL8 6EX). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 955 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2009. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £627,000 sits 65% above the 2009 sale of £380,000. At 89 m² it's 16.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (106 m² median across 6 EPCs).
