About 8 Boundary Cottages

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

It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 659 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and a conservatory. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in August 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.

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 8 Boundary Cottages is modelled from its 61 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HP3 0JT. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 8 Boundary Cottages. 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 8 Boundary Cottages was lodged in March 2010 at band E and expired in March 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 5 applications are matched to 8 Boundary Cottages. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP3 0JT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Boundary Cottages is in council tax band D. 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.
