Overview

About 1 Balfour Mews

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

1 Balfour Mews is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bovingdon, Hemel Hempstead, Hemel Hempstead (HP3 0SE). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. At 72 m² this is the 11th smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 44–80 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 72 m² it's 18% larger than the typical home in the postcode (61 m² median across 11 EPCs). Across 2010–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £311,000 is 29.6% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£310/sq ft) was about 56.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in September 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 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 Balfour Mews is modelled from its 72 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HP3 0SE. 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 Balfour Mews. 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 Balfour Mews was lodged in January 2015 at band C and expired in January 2025, 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. None is matched to 1 Balfour Mews. 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 0SE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Balfour Mews is in council tax band C. 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.
