About Flat
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat is an end-of-terrace house in Hay-On-Wye, Hereford, Hereford (HR3 5BN). It has a recorded floor area of 143 m² (around 1539 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. At 143 m² this is the 5th smallest of 6 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 46–150 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (August 2018) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).
Held since April 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 143 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 £342,000 is 30.5% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£170/sq ft) was about 26.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 Flat is modelled from its 143 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HR3 5BN. 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 Flat. 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 Flat was lodged in August 2018 at band D and is valid until August 2028. 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 Flat. 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 5BN. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat is in council tax band C. 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.
