How the estimate is made

The estimate for 124a is modelled from its 42 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL1 1PQ. 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.

Overview

About 124a

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

124a is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in St Albans (AL1 1PQ). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. At 42 m² this is the 13th smallest of 37 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 22–107 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 64). The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 31 years, with the last transfer in March 1995. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £331,000 sits 237.8% above the 1995 sale of £98,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£217/sq ft) was about 61.2% below the postcode norm. At 42 m² it sits well below the postcode median (60 m² across 36 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs).

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 124a is modelled from its 42 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL1 1PQ. 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 124a. 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 124a was lodged in April 2014 at band E and expired in April 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 124a. 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. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from AL1 1PQ.
Council tax band
124a is in council tax band B. 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.
