About 2 Burns Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Burns Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Hitchin (SG4 0RB). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 848 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70).

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in August 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £358,000 sits 93.5% above the 2009 sale of £185,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£218/sq ft) was about 17.3% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2021.
