About 82 Holywell Hill
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
82 Holywell Hill is a mid-terrace house in St Albans (AL1 1DH). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1421 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2018) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2008.

The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78).
It hasn't traded since June 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.

- 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 82 Holywell Hill. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
