About 9b
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
9b is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Hemel Hempstead (HP1 1JH). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 941 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2010) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from February 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
Today's modelled estimate of £496,000 sits 77.1% above the 2011 sale of £280,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£298/sq ft) was about 25.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 87 m² it's 19.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (73 m² median across 28 EPCs). Last sold in September 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.

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 9b is modelled from its 87 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 9b. 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 9b was lodged in February 2010 at band D and expired in February 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. 1 application is matched to 9b. 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
- 9b 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.
