About 30 King Harry Lane

30 King Harry Lane is a five-bedroom detached house in St Albans (AL3 4AU). It has a recorded floor area of 242 m² (around 2605 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (October 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average and main heating dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 64), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 30 King Harry Lane is modelled from its 242 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 4AU. 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 30 King Harry Lane. 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 30 King Harry Lane was lodged in December 2013 at band F and expired in December 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 14 applications are matched to 30 King Harry Lane. 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 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL3 4AU, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 30 King Harry Lane 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.
