About 31 Whitecross Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
31 Whitecross Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Hereford (HR4 0DE). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 999 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1997–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £252,000 sits 52.7% above the 2012 sale of £165,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£165/sq ft) was about 15.6% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in May 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 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 31 Whitecross Road is modelled from its 93 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HR4 0DE. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 31 Whitecross Road. 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 31 Whitecross Road was lodged in May 2011 at band E and expired in May 2021, 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. 2 applications are matched to 31 Whitecross Road. 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HR4 0DE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 31 Whitecross Road 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.
