About 1 Alban House

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

1 Alban House is a property in St Albans (AL1 3HB). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in May 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good.

Today's modelled estimate of £349,000 is 88% below the 2023 sale of £2,900,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. At 67 m² the property is well over the postcode median (43 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused.
