Overview

About Flat 1

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

Flat 1 is a detached house in Hemel Hempstead (HP1 1BA). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft). At 53 m² this is the 8th smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 43–77 m². The latest certificate (December 2017) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff.

Today's modelled estimate of £232,000 is 62.6% below the 2013 sale of £620,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,087/sq ft) was about 35.7% below the postcode norm. At 53 m² it's 17.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (45 m² median across 59 EPCs).

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat 1 is modelled from its 53 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HP1 1BA. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Flat 1. 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 Flat 1 was lodged in December 2017 at band D and is valid until December 2027. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Flat 1. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP1 1BA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
