Overview

About Highlow

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

Highlow is a three-bedroom detached house in Hemel Hempstead (HP3 0AX). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1472 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in September 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £694,000 sits 87.6% above the 2009 sale of £370,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 137 m² it's 23.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (179 m² median across 17 EPCs).
