Overview

About Forge Cottage

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

Forge Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Credenhill, Hereford, Hereford (HR4 7EG). It has a recorded floor area of 151 m² (around 1629 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (July 2011) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in April 2010 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, lighting went from Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The latest certificate is from July 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 151 m² the property is well over the postcode median (53 m² across 5 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). Across 2010–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £451,000 is 18.7% above the 2021 sale price. Sold September 2021 for £380,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for Forge Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
