Overview

About 222a

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

222a is a detached house in St Albans (AL1 4LW). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (June 2020) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (June 2020); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump.

Today's modelled estimate of £523,000 is 16.3% below the 2017 sale of £625,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£523/sq ft) was about 45.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 111 m² the property is well over the postcode median (46 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). Last sold in July 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.

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 222a is modelled from its 111 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL1 4LW. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 222a. 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 222a was lodged in June 2020 at band E and is valid until June 2030. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 222a. 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 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL1 4LW, not by walking route.
