Overview

About 1a

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

1a 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 F. The latest certificate (January 2024) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. The rating has held steady at B across 3 certificates since January 2013. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.

Held since April 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,115,000 sits 174% above the 2009 sale of £407,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£204/sq ft) was about 48.4% below the postcode norm. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 73% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2010.
