About 2 Clare Court

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

2 Clare Court is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in St Albans (AL1 3AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. At 42 m² this is the 5th smallest of 6 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 35–42 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top.

Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £263,000 sits 64.4% above the 2009 sale of £160,000.
