About 3 Portway Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Portway Cottage is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Callow, Hereford, Hereford (HR2 8BS). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since January 2015. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 98), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 3 Portway Cottage is modelled from its 108 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HR2 8BS. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 3 Portway Cottage. 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 3 Portway Cottage was lodged in June 2016 at band E and expired in June 2026, 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 3 Portway Cottage. 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 HR2 8BS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
