Overview

About Rainhill Spring

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

Rainhill Spring is a detached house in Bovingdon, Hemel Hempstead, Hemel Hempstead (HP3 0DP). It has a recorded floor area of 451 m² (around 4855 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band H. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in July 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. At 451 m² the property is well over the postcode median (292 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1998–2001, sale prices on this property compounded at 33.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £3,380,000 sits 82.7% above the 2001 sale of £1,850,000.

Because the property is a large detached home over 300m², has been extended more than once, and has no mains gas supply, we believe a Level 3 building survey should be considered.

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 Rainhill Spring is modelled from its 451 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HP3 0DP. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Rainhill Spring. 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 Rainhill Spring was lodged in December 2015 at band D and expired in December 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 11 applications are matched to Rainhill Spring. 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 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP3 0DP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Rainhill Spring 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.
