Overview

About 5 Cloister Garth

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

5 Cloister Garth is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in St Albans (AL1 2HT). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2012) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£315/sq ft) was about 24.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 84 m² it sits well below the postcode median (131 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in December 2012 and unlisted since — roughly 13 years.
