About 3 Burleigh Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Burleigh Road is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in St Albans (AL1 5DH). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2024) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 5 certificates since October 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. Other recorded features include a loft.
Held since January 2008 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 45 m² it sits well below the postcode median (78 m² across 31 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1999–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £391,000 is 47% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£549/sq ft) was about 36.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 3 Burleigh Road is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL1 5DH. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 3 Burleigh 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 3 Burleigh Road was lodged in December 2024 at band D and is valid until December 2034. 5 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 3 Burleigh 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 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL1 5DH, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 3 Burleigh Road is in council tax band E. 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.
