About Brook Cottage

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

Brook Cottage is a mid-terrace house in Hay-On-Wye, Hereford, Hereford (HR3 5BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 169 m² (around 1824 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (June 2010) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from June 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 30 years, with the last transfer in December 1995. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 169 m² the property is well over the postcode median (88 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £354,000 sits 490% above the 1995 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£33/sq ft) was about 81.9% below the postcode norm.
