Overview

About 2b

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

2b is a three-bedroom detached house in St Albans (AL1 4LQ). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (April 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81).

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in September 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £710,000 sits 97.2% above the 2009 sale of £360,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£352/sq ft) was about 34.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
