1a is a detached house in St Albans (AL1 3PH). It has a recorded floor area of 146 m² (around 1572 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since June 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 146 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £1,195,000 sits 152.9% above the 2001 sale of £472,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£301/sq ft) was about 30.5% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused.
