Overview

About 2a

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

2a is a four-bedroom detached house in St Albans (AL1 1JL). It has a recorded floor area of 160 m² (around 1722 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). Other recorded features include a conservatory.

It hasn't traded since March 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 160 m² it's 16.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (193 m² median across 12 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,118,000 sits 148.4% above the 2009 sale of £450,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£261/sq ft) was about 42.7% below the postcode norm.

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 2a is modelled from its 160 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL1 1JL. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 2a. 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 2a was lodged in December 2025 at band C and is valid until December 2035. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 2a. 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 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL1 1JL, not by walking route.
Council tax band
2a 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.
