Overview

About 17 Charmouth Road

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

17 Charmouth Road is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in St Albans (AL1 4RS). It has a recorded floor area of 156 m² (around 1679 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (April 2025) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

It hasn't traded since February 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2000–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,200,000 sits 81.8% above the 2008 sale of £660,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£393/sq ft) was about 18.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 3 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused.
