Overview

About 1 Carlbury Close

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

1 Carlbury Close is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in St Albans (AL1 5DR). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2011. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 91), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1997–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.6% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£778/sq ft) was about 135.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £477,500 in May 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2014.
