About 4 Arden Close
4 Arden Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Bovingdon, Hemel Hempstead, Hemel Hempstead (HP3 0QS). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in October 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Today's modelled estimate of £636,000 sits 51.4% above the 2014 sale of £420,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in January 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
