Overview

About 17 Alexandra Road

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

17 Alexandra Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in St Albans (AL1 3AU). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (February 2020) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since October 2004, a hold of 22 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1998–2004, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £561,000 sits 124.4% above the 2004 sale of £250,000.
