Overview

About 4 Charmouth Court

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

4 Charmouth Court is a two-bedroom detached house in St Albans (AL1 4SH). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2023) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (December 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72).

Held since December 2009 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £397,000 sits 73.4% above the 2009 sale of £229,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
