1a, Breakspear Avenue, St Albans, AL1 5EJ

1a's estimated value is more than triple its earliest registered sale price (2000).

Recommended upgrades on file would lift this property by multiple EPC bands.

How the estimate is made

The estimate for 1a is modelled from its 95 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL1 5EJ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 1a. 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 1a was lodged in September 2012 at band D and expired in September 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.

Planning records

Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 1a. 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 5EJ, not by walking route.

Council tax band

1a is in council tax band F. 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.
