About 6 Orchard Close
6 Orchard Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Dilwyn, Hereford, Hereford (HR4 8HQ). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (July 2024) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since August 2010. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). Main heating runs on lpg.
It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £310,000 sits 55% above the 2007 sale of £199,950.
