Overview

About 1 Pine Ridge

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

1 Pine Ridge is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in St Albans (AL1 1JE). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band E. Tenure is freehold. At 71 m² this is the 5th smallest of 15 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 66–71 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 15 units on file. The latest certificate (December 2023) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band.

Held since June 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £365,000 sits 58.7% above the 2009 sale of £230,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£301/sq ft) was about 31.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Pine Ridge is modelled from its 71 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL1 1JE. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 1 Pine Ridge. 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 1 Pine Ridge was lodged in December 2023 at band C and is valid until December 2033. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1 Pine Ridge. 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 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL1 1JE, not by walking route.
Council tax band
1 Pine Ridge is in council tax band E. 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.
