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.
