Overview

About 5 Boleyn Drive

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

5 Boleyn Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in St Albans (AL1 2BP). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 64 m² it sits well below the postcode median (95 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2013–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.7% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,108/sq ft) was about 229.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: August 2022 at £763,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
