Overview

About 3c

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

3c is a two-bedroom detached house in St Albans (AL1 1LA). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (February 2017) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in February 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Good. Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff. At 74 m² this is the 10th smallest of 11 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 44–74 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include a balcony. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 74 m² the property is well over the postcode median (50 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.

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 3c is modelled from its 74 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL1 1LA. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 3c. 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 3c was lodged in February 2017 at band E and is valid until February 2027. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 3c. 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 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL1 1LA, not by walking route.
