Overview

About Davidsfield

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

Davidsfield is a two-bedroom detached house in Kings Caple, Hereford, Hereford (HR1 4UL). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in March 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 75 m² it sits well below the postcode median (113 m² across 16 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2013–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£403/sq ft) was about 107.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £325,000 in October 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
