Overview

About 156

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

156 is a five-bedroom detached house in Piccotts End, Hemel Hempstead, Hemel Hempstead (HP1 3AU). It has a recorded floor area of 259 m² (around 2784 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 259 m² the property is well over the postcode median (125 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. 5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £1,394,000 is 39.4% above the 2009 sale price.
