Overview

About 1 Boundary Cottages

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

1 Boundary Cottages is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bovingdon, Hemel Hempstead, Hemel Hempstead (HP3 0JT). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 662 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2011) shows a G (score 5), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to E (score 52), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2011–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 31.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £393,000 is 28.9% above the 2013 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£461/sq ft) was about 77.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in December 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.

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 1 Boundary Cottages is modelled from its 62 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HP3 0JT. 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 1 Boundary Cottages. 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 1 Boundary Cottages was lodged in January 2011 at band G and expired in January 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 1 Boundary Cottages. 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 2 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP3 0JT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Boundary Cottages 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.
