About 47a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
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 £254,000 sits 330.5% 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs).

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 47a is modelled from its 42 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL1 5DX. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 47a. 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 47a was lodged in March 2011 at band E and expired in March 2021, 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. None is matched to 47a. 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 36 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL1 5DX, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 47a is in council tax band B. 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.
