Overview

About 3 Bardwell Road

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

3 Bardwell Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in St Albans (AL1 1RQ). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 89). The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
