Home Survey Services for Hemel Hempstead Properties

Hemel Hempstead was designated a New Town after the Second World War and its property landscape reflects this history beautifully. The Old Town retains charming Victorian and Edwardian cottages and terraces along its historic High Street, while the post-war expansion brought large planned neighbourhoods — Adeyfield, Bennetts End, Grovehill, Highfield, Warners End, Leverstock Green, Woodhall Farm and Chaulden — each with distinct housing estates from the 1950s through to the 1980s. More recent development has added modern flats, townhouses and family homes, particularly around the town centre and Apsley marina area. The underlying geology is predominantly chalk, which can present ground stability considerations.

For older properties in the Old Town or homes that have been significantly extended or altered, we recommend the Level 3 Building Survey.
