How the estimate is made
The estimate for 43a is modelled from its 74 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HR3 5AA. 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.

About 43a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
43a is a mid-terrace house in Hay-On-Wye, Hereford, Hereford (HR3 5AA). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. At 74 m² this is the 5th smallest of 6 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 35–130 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (39 versus a best of 79). The latest certificate (May 2012) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62). The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since October 2002 — that's 24 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

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 43a is modelled from its 74 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HR3 5AA. 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 43a. 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 43a was lodged in May 2012 at band E and expired in May 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 43a. 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 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from HR3 5AA. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 43a is in council tax band B. 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.
