About Fareham House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Fareham House is a detached house in Hemel Hempstead (HP1 1DZ). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2010) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from June 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £254,000 is 96.7% below the 2016 sale of £7,750,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£9,600/sq ft) was about 7186% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 75 m² the property is well over the postcode median (39 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 10 years since the last transfer (March 2016).

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Fareham House is modelled from its 75 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HP1 1DZ. 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 Fareham House. 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 Fareham House was lodged in June 2010 at band D and expired in June 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 Fareham House. 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 1DZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Fareham House is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
