About 104 Hempstead Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
104 Hempstead Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Watford (WD17 4LA). It has a recorded floor area of 245 m² (around 2637 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a C (score 71). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 245 m² the property is well over the postcode median (78 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2007–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,327,000 is 10.6% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£455/sq ft) was about 17.3% below the postcode norm. Last sold in June 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2007.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 104 Hempstead Road is modelled from its 245 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WD17 4LA. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 104 Hempstead Road. 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 104 Hempstead Road was lodged in August 2014 at band C and expired in August 2024, 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 104 Hempstead Road. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 36 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WD17 4LA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 104 Hempstead Road is in council tax band G. 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.
