About 171 Windmill Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
171 Windmill Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Hemel Hempstead (HP2 4BY). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1345 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows a C (score 70). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
At 125 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 79% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2002–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £568,000 is 22.2% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£346/sq ft) was about 43.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in March 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 171 Windmill Road is modelled from its 125 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HP2 4BY. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 171 Windmill Road. 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 171 Windmill Road was lodged in April 2013 at band C and expired in April 2023, 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 171 Windmill Road. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 36 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP2 4BY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 171 Windmill Road is in council tax band D. 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.
