About 5 Birchway
5 Birchway is a semi-detached house in Hayes (UB3 3PA). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since September 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £414,000 sits 557.1% above the 1996 sale of £63,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£86/sq ft) was about 66% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs).
