About 36a
36a is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Hayes (UB3 4LA). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Held since July 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £306,000 sits 81.1% above the 2007 sale of £169,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£308/sq ft) was about 21.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 51 m² it sits well below the postcode median (76 m² across 34 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 79% of similar EPCs).
