Overview

About 45 West Valley Road

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

45 West Valley Road is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Hemel Hempstead (HP3 0AN). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 62 m² it sits well below the postcode median (97 m² across 35 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, a loft conversion and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2016–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £889,000 is 31.7% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,011/sq ft) was about 284.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: January 2022 at £675,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
