Overview

About 15 Orient Close

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

15 Orient Close is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in St Albans (AL1 1AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

10 years since the last transfer (June 2016). Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £669,000 is 15.3% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£682/sq ft) was about 89.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
