Overview

About 8 Ashby Gardens

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

8 Ashby Gardens is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in St Albans (AL1 2NP). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 778 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 20 years, with the last transfer in February 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £480,000 sits 95.9% above the 2007 sale of £245,000.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Ashby Gardens is modelled from its 72 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL1 2NP. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 8 Ashby Gardens. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 8 Ashby Gardens was lodged in September 2010 at band D and expired in September 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 8 Ashby Gardens. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL1 2NP, not by walking route.
Council tax band
8 Ashby Gardens is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
