Overview

About 8 Clifton Street

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

8 Clifton Street is a semi-detached house in St Albans (AL1 3RY). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 44 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (44–127 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 (45 versus a best of 72). The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 44 m² it sits well below the postcode median (86 m² across 20 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On the market in October 2011 and unlisted since — roughly 15 years. Across 1998–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £268,000 is 37.4% above the 2011 sale price.
