Overview

About 17 Astley Road

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

17 Astley Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Hemel Hempstead (HP1 1HU). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

Last sale on file: £348,000 in June 2022. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. At 61 m² it's 24.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (81 m² median across 32 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). Across 1998–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.9% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£530/sq ft) was about 94.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
