Overview

About Ashtree

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

Ashtree is a detached house in Water End, Hemel Hempstead, Hemel Hempstead (HP1 3BD). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1115 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1991-1995. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in December 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2004–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £449,000 sits 113.8% above the 2009 sale of £210,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£188/sq ft) was about 23.3% below the postcode norm. At 104 m² it sits well below the postcode median (230 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
