About 1 Alison Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Alison Court is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Hemel Hempstead (HP2 4QA). It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 441 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. At 41 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (41–52 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (June 2018) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in August 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since February 2002, a hold of 24 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 1995–2002, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £192,000 sits 118.2% above the 2002 sale of £88,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£199/sq ft) was about 16.3% below the postcode norm. At 41 m² it's 17.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (50 m² median across 24 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.

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 1 Alison Court is modelled from its 41 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HP2 4QA. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 1 Alison Court. 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 1 Alison Court was lodged in June 2018 at band E and is valid until June 2028. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1 Alison Court. 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 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP2 4QA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Alison Court is in council tax band C. 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.
