Overview

About 5 Riverbank

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

5 Riverbank is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Piccotts End, Hemel Hempstead, Hemel Hempstead (HP1 3SG). It has a recorded floor area of 134 m² (around 1437 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2011) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70).
