Overview

About 4 Fernecroft

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

4 Fernecroft is a mid-terrace house in St Albans (AL1 2PW). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. At 57 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (57–62 m²). On EPC score it ranks first in the building (75 versus a worst of 71). The latest certificate (April 2024) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since January 2013. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

It hasn't traded since May 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £266,000 sits 58.3% above the 2008 sale of £168,000.
