Overview

About 148

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

148 is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Piccotts End, Hemel Hempstead, Hemel Hempstead (HP1 3AU). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in October 1999. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £591,000 sits 216% above the 1999 sale of £187,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£185/sq ft) was about 51.5% below the postcode norm. 6 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 94 m² it sits well below the postcode median (157 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 148 is modelled from its 94 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 148. 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 148 was lodged in March 2026 at band D and is valid until March 2036. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 6 applications are matched to 148. 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
148 is in council tax band E. 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.
