How the estimate is made
The estimate for 3 Nightingale Lane is modelled from its 38 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL1 1DX. 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.

About 3 Nightingale Lane
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Nightingale Lane is a semi-detached house in St Albans (AL1 1DX). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band G. At 38 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 5 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 33–220 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 5 units on file. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71).

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 3 Nightingale Lane is modelled from its 38 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL1 1DX. 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. No sale is recorded for 3 Nightingale Lane, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 3 Nightingale Lane was lodged in October 2015 at band D and expired in October 2025, 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 3 Nightingale Lane. 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 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL1 1DX, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 3 Nightingale Lane 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.
