About Mole Cottage
Mole Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Lelley, Hull, Hull (HU12 8SP). It has a recorded floor area of 172 m² (around 1851 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (March 2023) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.
It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 172 m² it's 23.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (226 m² median across 3 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £464,000 is 23.7% above the 2009 sale price.
