Local market context
3 Ash Grove Road is a detached house in Bodenham, Hereford, Hereford (HR1 3LW). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1356 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2026) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. When first surveyed in May 2015 the rating was D, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Held since November 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £410,000 sits 360.7% above the 1998 sale of £89,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£66/sq ft) was about 64.2% below the postcode norm. At 126 m² it's 22.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (103 m² median across 3 EPCs).
The EPC has just been inspected, so the rating reflects current condition.
