Overview

About 5 Alexandra Road

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

5 Alexandra Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in St Albans (AL1 3AU). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2023) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump.

Held since January 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £593,000 sits 97.7% above the 2007 sale of £299,950. At 80 m² it's 15.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (70 m² median across 24 EPCs).
