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.

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.
