Overview

About Oak Tree House

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

Oak Tree House is a detached house in Bovingdon, Hemel Hempstead, Hemel Hempstead (HP3 0DR). It has a recorded floor area of 257 m² (around 2766 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Oak Tree House is modelled from its 257 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HP3 0DR. 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 Oak Tree House. 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 Oak Tree House was lodged in September 2015 at band D and expired in September 2025, 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 Oak Tree House. 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 0DR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
