Overview

About 5 Parkland Drive

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

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 £1,133,000 sits 71.7% 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).

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 Parkland Drive is modelled from its 136 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 4AH. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 5 Parkland Drive. 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 5 Parkland Drive was lodged in February 2012 at band D and expired in February 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. 7 applications are matched to 5 Parkland Drive. 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 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL3 4AH, not by walking route.
Council tax band
5 Parkland Drive is in council tax band G. 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.
