Overview

About 2 Davy House

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

2 Davy House is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in St Albans (AL1 3FL). It has a recorded floor area of 31 m² (around 334 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band C. At 31 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across 2 Davy House (31–76 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (February 2022) returns a B (score 83), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, lighting went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. Main heating runs on electricity.

Today's modelled estimate of £252,000 is 12.5% below the 2016 sale of £288,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£863/sq ft) was about 325.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 31 m² it sits well below the postcode median (71 m² across 39 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 85% of similar EPCs). Last changed hands 10 years ago, in October 2016.
