Overview

About 7 Nightingale Lane

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

7 Nightingale Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in St Albans (AL1 1DX). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1399 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2022) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility.

It hasn't traded since August 1995, a hold of 31 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. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £1,114,000 sits 497.3% above the 1995 sale of £186,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£133/sq ft) was about 54.6% below the postcode norm.
