Overview

About 8 Hillcrest

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

8 Hillcrest is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in St Albans (AL3 4AT). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band F. At 91 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 70–115 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include a balcony, notable views and a self-contained annexe. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in July 1998. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £484,000 sits 206.3% above the 1998 sale of £158,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£161/sq ft) was about 55.2% below the postcode norm.
