Overview

About 44a

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

44a is an end-of-terrace house in Hemel Hempstead (HP1 3AE). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 54). The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 94 m² this is the 6th smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 29–178 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (35 versus a best of 75).

At 94 m² the property is well over the postcode median (59 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Across 2016–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at -8.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £305,000 sits 103.3% above the 2022 sale of £150,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£148/sq ft) was about 61.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: subdivision refused in 2022. Last sale on file: £150,000 in February 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 44a is modelled from its 94 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HP1 3AE. 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 44a. 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 44a was lodged in March 2012 at band F and expired in March 2022, 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 44a. 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 3AE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
44a 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.
