Overview

About 1 St Stephens Avenue

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

1 St Stephens Avenue is a five-bedroom detached house in St Albans (AL3 4AA). It has a recorded floor area of 185 m² (around 1991 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2012 onwards and council tax band G. The latest certificate (January 2024) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. The rating has held steady at B across 2 certificates since January 2013. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in January 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £1,147,000 sits 94.4% above the 2008 sale of £590,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£296/sq ft) was about 20.3% below the postcode norm. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 73% of similar EPCs). 8 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 1 refused.
