Overview

About 1a

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

1a is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in St Albans (AL1 1SQ). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 31 years, with the last transfer in November 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 £571,000 sits 938.2% above the 1995 sale of £55,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£56/sq ft) was about 88.6% below the postcode norm. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 83% of similar EPCs).
