Overview

About 39 Harlesden Road

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

39 Harlesden Road is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in St Albans (AL1 4LE). It has a recorded floor area of 151 m² (around 1625 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2011. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 151 m² the property is well over the postcode median (105 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2011–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,165,000 is 10.5% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£649/sq ft) was about 70.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: October 2021 at £1,054,175. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 39 Harlesden Road is modelled from its 151 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL1 4LE. 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 39 Harlesden Road. 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 39 Harlesden Road was lodged in April 2016 at band D and expired in April 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 39 Harlesden Road. 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 4LE, not by walking route.
Council tax band
39 Harlesden Road is in council tax band E. 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.
