Overview

About 1 Gade Valley Cottages

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

1 Gade Valley Cottages is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Great Gaddesden, Hemel Hempstead, Hemel Hempstead (HP1 3BW). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows an F (score 21), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on bottled lpg. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £385,000 sits 234.8% above the 1999 sale of £115,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£170/sq ft) was about 37.3% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs).
