20 Lion Street, Hay On Wye, Hereford, HR3 5AB

20 Lion Street is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Hay-On-Wye, Hereford, Hereford (HR3 5AB). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 127 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £338,000 is 38% above the 2009 sale price.
