Overview

About 9 Apple Cottages

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

9 Apple Cottages is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bovingdon, Hemel Hempstead, Hemel Hempstead (HP3 0EZ). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2026) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since January 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £380,000 sits 118.4% above the 2009 sale of £174,000. At 58 m² it's 19.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (72 m² median across 19 EPCs).
