About Rivendell
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Rivendell is a detached house in Felden, Hemel Hempstead, Hemel Hempstead (HP3 0BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 206 m² (around 2217 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band H. The latest certificate (April 2018) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2012. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71).
At 206 m² it sits well below the postcode median (328 m² across 24 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £1,208,000 is 36.5% above the 2013 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£399/sq ft) was about 28% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.

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 Rivendell is modelled from its 206 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HP3 0BQ. 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 Rivendell. 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 Rivendell was lodged in April 2018 at band D and is valid until April 2028. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to Rivendell. 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 0BQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Rivendell is in council tax band H. 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.
