47a, Camp Road, St Albans, AL1 5DX
About 47a
47a is a detached house in St Albans (AL1 5DX). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 455 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2011) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in February 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Poor; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 63). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in February 1998. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £235,000 sits 298.3% above the 1998 sale of £59,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£130/sq ft) was about 61.1% below the postcode norm. At 42 m² it sits well below the postcode median (69 m² across 26 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
