About 4 Guessens Walk
4 Guessens Walk is a four-bedroom detached house in Welwyn Garden City (AL8 6QS). It has a recorded floor area of 190 m² (around 2049 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since June 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £978,000 sits 97.6% above the 2009 sale of £495,000. 7 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 0 refused.
