About 6 South Dene
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.
