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 £258,000 is 32.3% above the 2011 sale price.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Clifton Street is modelled from its 44 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL1 3RY. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 8 Clifton Street. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 8 Clifton Street was lodged in September 2015 at band E and expired in September 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 8 Clifton Street. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 35 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL1 3RY, not by walking route.
Council tax band
8 Clifton Street is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
