About 17 Ashtree Way
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Ashtree Way is a five-bedroom detached house in Hemel Hempstead (HP1 1QS). It has a recorded floor area of 188 m² (around 2023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). The latest certificate is from October 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
At 188 m² the property is well over the postcode median (129 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.

Today's modelled estimate of £844,000 sits 57.8% above the 2012 sale of £535,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£264/sq ft) was about 24.2% below the postcode norm.

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 17 Ashtree Way is modelled from its 188 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HP1 1QS. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 17 Ashtree Way. 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 17 Ashtree Way was lodged in October 2011 at band E and expired in October 2021, 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 17 Ashtree Way. 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 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP1 1QS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17 Ashtree Way is in council tax band G. 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.
