Overview

About 87 Burns Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

87 Burns Drive is a semi-detached house in Hemel Hempstead (HP2 7NW). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. At 44 m² this is the 10th smallest of 33 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 39–63 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (43 versus a best of 84). The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (May 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67). Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £167,000 sits 312.3% above the 1998 sale of £40,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£86/sq ft) was about 57.3% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs).

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 87 Burns Drive is modelled from its 44 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HP2 7NW. 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 87 Burns Drive. 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 87 Burns Drive was lodged in July 2014 at band E and expired in July 2024, 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. None is matched to 87 Burns Drive. 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 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP2 7NW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
87 Burns Drive 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.
