Overview

About 2 Church Cottages

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

2 Church Cottages is a semi-detached house in Lyde, Hereford, Hereford (HR1 3AA). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since January 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 91), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 2 Church Cottages is modelled from its 100 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HR1 3AA. 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 2 Church 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 2 Church Cottages was lodged in October 2015 at band E and expired in October 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 2 Church 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 3 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HR1 3AA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 Church Cottages is in council tax band C. 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.
