Overview

About 2 Leaf Way

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

2 Leaf Way is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in St Albans (AL1 2NE). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £437,000 sits 223.7% above the 2001 sale of £135,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£202/sq ft) was about 26.7% below the postcode norm. At 62 m² it sits well below the postcode median (152 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs).
