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 31 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 £339,000 sits 465% 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.

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 Brook Cottage is modelled from its 169 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HR3 5BQ. 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 Brook Cottage. 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 Brook Cottage was lodged in June 2010 at band E and expired in June 2020, 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. None is matched to Brook Cottage. 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 5BQ. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
