About 12 High Town
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
12 High Town is a detached house in Hay-On-Wye, Hereford, Hereford (HR3 5AE). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 497 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows a G (score 15), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 23). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 46 m² this is the 5th smallest of 11 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 29–123 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (15 versus a best of 81).
Today's modelled estimate of £164,000 is 33.1% below the 2017 sale of £245,250, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in August 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.

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 12 High Town is modelled from its 46 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HR3 5AE. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 12 High Town. 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 12 High Town was lodged in December 2008 at band G and expired in December 2018, 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. 3 applications are matched to 12 High Town. 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 5AE. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 12 High Town 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.
