83 Heath Road, St Albans, AL1 4DS

83 Heath Road is a four-bedroom detached house in St Albans (AL1 4DS). It has a recorded floor area of 131 m² (around 1410 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2019) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since May 1996, a hold of 30 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 131 m² the property is well over the postcode median (70 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £1,004,000 sits 2410% above the 1996 sale of £40,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£28/sq ft) was about 91.2% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
