Overview

About 8 Bittern Close

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

8 Bittern Close is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Hemel Hempstead (HP3 9FQ). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 5 certificates since May 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
