Overview

About 5 Cavendish Road

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

5 Cavendish Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in St Albans (AL1 5EF). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in February 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and hot-water efficiency went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Last sale on file: £549,100 in January 2022. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. Across 2006–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.4% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£729/sq ft) was about 110.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
