About 18 Gibson Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18 Gibson Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Hitchin (SG4 0RS). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2012) shows a D (score 64), 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 August 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
At 71 m² it sits well below the postcode median (107 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £501,000 is 35.4% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£484/sq ft) was about 49.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in September 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
