About 13 Blenheim Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
13 Blenheim Road is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in St Albans (AL1 4NS). It has a recorded floor area of 145 m² (around 1565 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The home occupies a corner plot. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £1,524,000 sits 64.4% above the 2011 sale of £927,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£592/sq ft) was about 40.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 15 years since the last transfer (August 2011).

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 13 Blenheim Road is modelled from its 145 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL1 4NS. 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 13 Blenheim 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 13 Blenheim Road was lodged in May 2011 at band E and expired in May 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 13 Blenheim 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 36 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL1 4NS, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 13 Blenheim Road is in council tax band G. 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.
