Your note and figure are shown publicly on this page.
The estimate for 126a is modelled from its 38 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a 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.

126a has no Land Registry sales on file, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands since registration began.
That can mean the property has never traded since the registry began publishing in 1995, was a new build that hasn't been registered yet, or is held in the same hands long-term.
Median price across the last 5 sales in AL1 1PQ: £390,000 (2021–2020).

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 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. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (42 versus a best of 85). 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.
At 38 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). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2006.
126a's EPC is over a decade old — improvements since won't be reflected.

Because the property was built before 1919, has no mains gas supply, and has solid (non-cavity) walls, we believe a Level 3 building survey should be considered.
