Overview

About 9 Bedford Road

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

9 Bedford Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in St Albans (AL1 3BH). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1335 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 124 m² the property is well over the postcode median (71 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £849,000 sits 59.6% above the 2015 sale of £532,000. On the market in February 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 11 years. 3 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused.
