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 £366,000 sits 74.3% 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.

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 Ashtree is modelled from its 104 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HP1 3BD. 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 Ashtree. 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 Ashtree was lodged in August 2009 at band F and expired in August 2019, 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 Ashtree. 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 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP1 3BD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
