Overview

About 1 Charles Street

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

1 Charles Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Hemel Hempstead (HP1 1JH). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since April 1995, a hold of 31 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 £377,000 sits 761.7% above the 1995 sale of £43,750. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£51/sq ft) was about 87.3% below the postcode norm.
