6 Cottonmill Lane is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in St Albans (AL1 1HN). It has a recorded floor area of 36 m² (around 388 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. At 36 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (36–71 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 6 units on file. The latest certificate (April 2023) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in June 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 36 m² it sits well below the postcode median (69 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £308,000 is 36.3% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£583/sq ft) was about 113.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2012.
