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

It has a recorded floor area of 475 m² (around 5113 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 Hardwicke Lodge is modelled from its 475 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PL7 1UG. 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 Hardwicke Lodge. 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 Hardwicke Lodge was lodged in May 2012 at band D and expired in May 2022, 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. 1 application is matched to Hardwicke Lodge. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL7 1UG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
