About 20 Byfield
20 Byfield is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Welwyn Garden City (AL8 7AL). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 862 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since October 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £368,000 sits 79.6% above the 2007 sale of £204,950.
