About 6 South Dene
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
6 South Dene is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Gaddesden Row, Hemel Hempstead, Hemel Hempstead (HP2 6HP). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 96), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 110 m² it's 25% larger than the typical home in the postcode (88 m² median across 11 EPCs). Across 2010–2024, sale prices on this property compounded at 5% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£422/sq ft) was about 92.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £500,000 in October 2024.

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 6 South Dene is modelled from its 110 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HP2 6HP. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 6 South Dene. 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 6 South Dene was lodged in February 2015 at band D and expired in February 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 6 South Dene. 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 3 schools and 14 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP2 6HP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 6 South Dene 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.
