Overview

About 1 Abbey Court

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

1 Abbey Court is a two-bedroom detached house in St Albans (AL1 1HA). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 60 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 7 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 59–65 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (May 2018) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).

It hasn't traded since August 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1999–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £364,000 sits 69.3% above the 2008 sale of £215,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£333/sq ft) was about 19% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2011.
