About 9a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
9a is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Hemel Hempstead (HP1 1JH). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 999 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since February 2007 — that's 20 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 £464,000 sits 87.1% above the 2007 sale of £248,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£248/sq ft) was about 37.9% below the postcode norm. At 93 m² it's 27.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (73 m² median across 28 EPCs).

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 9a is modelled from its 93 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HP1 1JH. 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 9a. 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 9a was lodged in September 2009 at band C and expired in September 2019, 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 9a. 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 31 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP1 1JH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 9a is in council tax band E. 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.
