Overview

About 1 Bittern Close

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

1 Bittern Close is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Hemel Hempstead (HP3 9FQ). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Held since January 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £447,000 sits 62.5% above the 2009 sale of £275,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
