About 4 Alban Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Alban Court is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in St Albans (AL1 5DN). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 491 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. At 46 m² this is the 5th smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 41–50 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (January 2010) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from January 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 1998–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £242,000 sits 61.3% above the 2012 sale of £150,000. On the market in October 2012 and unlisted since — roughly 14 years. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2019. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 4 Alban Court is modelled from its 46 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL1 5DN. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 4 Alban Court. 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 4 Alban Court was lodged in January 2010 at band C and expired in January 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 4 Alban Court. 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 5DN, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 4 Alban Court is in council tax band C. 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.
