Overview

About 4 Church Cottages

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

4 Church Cottages is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Great Gaddesden, Hemel Hempstead, Hemel Hempstead (HP1 3BU). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 892 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a G (score 20), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 27). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 83 m² the property is well over the postcode median (47 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Most recent transfer: February 2019 at £375,000. Across the public record there are 7 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused.

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 4 Church Cottages is modelled from its 83 m² EPC floor area, its 7 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HP1 3BU. 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. 7 sales are recorded for 4 Church Cottages. 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 4 Church Cottages was lodged in March 2009 at band G and expired in March 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. 4 applications are matched to 4 Church Cottages. 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 3 schools and 19 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP1 3BU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Church Cottages 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.
