Overview

About 7 Bittern Close

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

7 Bittern Close is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Hemel Hempstead (HP3 9FQ). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1152 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (November 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Last sale on file: £490,008 in April 2022. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One planning record on file: a garage conversion approved in 2022. Past consents include a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2001–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 4% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£425/sq ft) was about 69% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
