Overview

About 53 Crescent Road

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

53 Crescent Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Hemel Hempstead (HP2 4AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2020) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.

Today's modelled estimate of £415,000 sits 80.4% above the 2013 sale of £230,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£248/sq ft) was about 18.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in August 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
