126a is a mid-terrace house in St Albans (AL1 1PQ). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 38 m² this is the 6th smallest of 25 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 22–91 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (42 versus a best of 82). The latest certificate (April 2013) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 55). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £237,000 sits 579.1% above the 2022 sale of £34,900. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£85/sq ft) was about 84.5% below the postcode norm. At 38 m² it's 28.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (53 m² median across 24 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Sold November 2022 for £34,900. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2006.
