How the estimate is made
The estimate for 15c is modelled from its 67 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HP1 3AA. 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.

About 15c
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15c is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Hemel Hempstead (HP1 3AA). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 67 m² this is the 23rd smallest of 31 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 18–234 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (September 2024) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good.
Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in July 1999. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 67 m² the property is well over the postcode median (45 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 70% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £275,000 sits 267.6% above the 1999 sale of £74,800. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£104/sq ft) was about 68.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2019. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 15c is modelled from its 67 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HP1 3AA. 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 15c. 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 15c was lodged in September 2024 at band C and is valid until September 2034. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 15c. 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 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP1 3AA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 15c is in council tax band C. 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.
