About 138
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
138 is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Piccotts End, Hemel Hempstead, Hemel Hempstead (HP1 3AU). It has a recorded floor area of 202 m² (around 2174 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2011 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record.
At 202 m² the property is well over the postcode median (140 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 25 planning records sit against the property, 16 approved, 4 refused. Past consents include an extension, an annexe and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Today's modelled estimate of £1,192,000 is 26% above the 2020 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£435/sq ft) was about 15.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £946,000 in December 2020.

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 138 is modelled from its 202 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HP1 3AU. 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 138. 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 138 was lodged in February 2026 at band D and is valid until February 2036. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 25 applications are matched to 138. 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 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP1 3AU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 138 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.
