About 5 Parkland Drive
5 Parkland Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in St Albans (AL3 4AH). It has a recorded floor area of 136 m² (around 1467 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2012) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from February 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £1,070,000 sits 62.1% above the 2007 sale of £660,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£450/sq ft) was about 40.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 7 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 1 refused. At 136 m² it's 29.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (193 m² median across 5 EPCs).
