1 Howard Court is an end-of-terrace house in St Albans (AL1 2BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. At 66 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (46–66 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in July 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £319,000 sits 88.2% above the 2007 sale of £169,500. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2010.
