Overview

About 8 Dovecote Lane

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

8 Dovecote Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in Credenhill, Hereford, Hereford (HR4 7FA). It has a recorded floor area of 135 m² (around 1453 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 135 m² it's 15.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (117 m² median across 7 EPCs). Across 1999–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £403,000 is 36.1% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£204/sq ft) was about 30% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Dovecote Lane is modelled from its 135 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HR4 7FA. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 8 Dovecote Lane. 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 8 Dovecote Lane was lodged in May 2016 at band D and expired in May 2026, 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 8 Dovecote Lane. 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 3 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HR4 7FA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Dovecote Lane is in council tax band E. 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.
