About Felden Hurst
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Felden Hurst is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Felden, Hemel Hempstead, Hemel Hempstead (HP3 0BE). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 554 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2010) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (July 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 55). The latest certificate is from December 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 51 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 7 units on EPC record in Felden Hurst, where floor areas span 33–95 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to D across 7 units on file.
Untraded for 30 years, with the last transfer in October 1996. 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 £255,000 sits 343.5% above the 1996 sale of £57,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£104/sq ft) was about 68.6% below the postcode norm. At 51 m² it sits well below the postcode median (85 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2020. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Felden Hurst is modelled from its 51 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HP3 0BE. 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 Felden Hurst. 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 Felden Hurst was lodged in December 2010 at band E and expired in December 2020, 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. 1 application is matched to Felden Hurst. 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 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP3 0BE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Felden Hurst is in council tax band D. 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.
