Overview

About Siesta

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

Siesta is a detached house in Hemel Hempstead (HP3 0AX). It has a recorded floor area of 179 m² (around 1927 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (September 2023) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in February 2022 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and window efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76).

Held since April 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£86/sq ft) was about 70.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005.

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 Siesta is modelled from its 179 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HP3 0AX. 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 Siesta. 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 Siesta was lodged in September 2023 at band D and is valid until September 2033. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Siesta. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP3 0AX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Siesta is in council tax band G. 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.
