Overview

About 30 Oswald Road

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

30 Oswald Road is a mid-terrace house in St Albans (AL1 3AQ). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2023) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good.

Held since May 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £566,000 sits 319.3% above the 1999 sale of £135,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£184/sq ft) was about 45.9% below the postcode norm.
