About 8 Castle Mead
8 Castle Mead is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Hemel Hempstead (HP1 1PR). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1113 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2004–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £564,000 sits 56.7% above the 2009 sale of £360,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£323/sq ft) was about 34% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
