Overview

About 5 Alston Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

5 Alston Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Hemel Hempstead (HP1 1QT). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1030 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in July 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £574,000 sits 64% above the 2009 sale of £350,000.
