It has a recorded floor area of 201 m² (around 2164 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since September 2011. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 3-band jump.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). 10 planning records sit against the property, 10 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch, an annexe and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Last changed hands 11 years ago, in January 2016. Across 2007–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £947,000 is 27.5% above the 2016 sale price.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Pidgeon Tower Cottage is modelled from its 201 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HP10 9JU. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for Pidgeon Tower Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Pidgeon Tower Cottage was lodged in June 2015 at band E and expired in June 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 10 applications are matched to Pidgeon Tower Cottage. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 11 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP10 9JU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Pidgeon Tower Cottage is in council tax band G. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
