Overview

About 2 Acorn Road

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

2 Acorn Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Hemel Hempstead (HP3 8DP). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2015) returns a B (score 82), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in September 2014 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Good to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to A (score 95). The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £396,000 is 21.8% above the 2015 sale price.

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 2 Acorn Road is modelled from its 69 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HP3 8DP. 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 2 Acorn Road. 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 2 Acorn Road was lodged in June 2015 at band B and expired in June 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. 2 applications are matched to 2 Acorn Road. 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 28 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP3 8DP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 Acorn Road 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.
