About 16 Bargrove Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16 Bargrove Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Hemel Hempstead (HP1 1QP). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2013) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 83 m² it sits well below the postcode median (146 m² across 31 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £593,000 sits 60.3% above the 2013 sale of £370,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£414/sq ft) was about 34.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in April 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.

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 16 Bargrove Avenue is modelled from its 83 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HP1 1QP. 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 16 Bargrove Avenue. 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 16 Bargrove Avenue was lodged in January 2013 at band F and expired in January 2023, 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 16 Bargrove Avenue. 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 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP1 1QP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 16 Bargrove Avenue 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.
