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 55 m² (around 592 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 (April 2026) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (July 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.6% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£807/sq ft) was about 144.5% 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.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Carlbury Close is modelled from its 55 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL1 5DR. 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 1 Carlbury Close. 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 1 Carlbury Close was lodged in April 2026 at band E and is valid until April 2036. 3 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 1 Carlbury Close. 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 5DR, not by walking route.
Council tax band
1 Carlbury Close is in council tax band D. 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.
