Overview

About Flat

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

Flat is a mid-terrace house in Hay-On-Wye, Hereford, Hereford (HR3 5AA). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1399 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. At 130 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (35–130 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (December 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 130 m² the property is well over the postcode median (54 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £208,000 is 48.6% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£100/sq ft) was about 46.9% below the postcode norm. Last sold in August 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
