About 21 Swan Bank
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
21 Swan Bank is a mid-terrace house in Hay-On-Wye, Hereford, Hereford (HR3 5DW). It has a recorded floor area of 27 m² (around 296 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2010) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 57). The latest certificate is from October 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since January 2000, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £239,000 sits 282.4% above the 2000 sale of £62,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£211/sq ft) was about 28.6% 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 21 Swan Bank is modelled from its 27 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HR3 5DW. 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 21 Swan Bank. 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 21 Swan Bank was lodged in October 2010 at band E and expired in October 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 21 Swan Bank. 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 5DW. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 21 Swan Bank 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.
