About 2 Bracknell Place
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Bracknell Place is a detached house in Hemel Hempstead (HP2 6BT). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. At 57 m² this is the 4th smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 33–111 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (80 versus a worst of 56). The latest certificate (June 2019) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in December 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Very Good.
Today's modelled estimate of £157,000 is 44.9% below the 2016 sale of £285,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition.

At 57 m² it sits well below the postcode median (93 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in March 2016.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 2 Bracknell Place is modelled from its 57 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HP2 6BT. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 2 Bracknell Place. 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 2 Bracknell Place was lodged in June 2019 at band C and is valid until June 2029. 7 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 5 applications are matched to 2 Bracknell Place. 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 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP2 6BT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2 Bracknell Place is in council tax band B. 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.
