Overview

About 28 Alma Road

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

28 Alma Road is a detached house in St Albans (AL1 3BW). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. At 98 m² this is the 8th smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 16–287 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (49 versus a best of 72). The latest certificate (May 2013) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 98 m² the property is well over the postcode median (50 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
