Overview

About 12 Grimsdyke Lodge

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

12 Grimsdyke Lodge is a one-bedroom detached house in St Albans (AL1 4LR). It has a recorded floor area of 31 m² (around 337 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. At 31 m² this is the 5th smallest of 11 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 30–33 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 11 units on file. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2011–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £212,000 sits 50.9% above the 2014 sale of £140,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£417/sq ft) was about 111.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in April 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
