Overview

About 46 Holywell Hill

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

46 Holywell Hill is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in St Albans (AL1 1BX). It has a recorded floor area of 166 m² (around 1787 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2018) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve.

It hasn't traded since March 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £983,000 sits 309.6% above the 1999 sale of £240,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£134/sq ft) was about 79.2% below the postcode norm. At 166 m² it's 21% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (210 m² median across 7 EPCs).

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 46 Holywell Hill is modelled from its 166 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL1 1BX. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 46 Holywell Hill. 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 46 Holywell Hill was lodged in March 2018 at band E and is valid until March 2028. 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 46 Holywell Hill. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL1 1BX, not by walking route.
Council tax band
46 Holywell Hill is in council tax band E. 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.
