How the estimate is made

The estimate for 83a is modelled from its 52 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HP3 9PP. 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.

Overview

About 83a

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

83a is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Hemel Hempstead (HP3 9PP). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 20 years, with the last transfer in February 2006. Across 1996–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £293,000 sits 105.6% above the 2006 sale of £142,500. At 52 m² it sits well below the postcode median (83 m² across 48 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2001.

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 83a is modelled from its 52 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HP3 9PP. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 83a. 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 83a was lodged in August 2016 at band E and expired in August 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 83a. 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 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP3 9PP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
83a is in council tax band B. 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.
