Overview

About 4 Abbots Park

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

4 Abbots Park is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in St Albans (AL1 1TN). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1206 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2017) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2015. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Held since August 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1996–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £508,000 sits 116.2% above the 2008 sale of £235,000.
