Overview

About 49 Midway

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

49 Midway is a three-bedroom detached house in St Albans (AL3 4BB). It has a recorded floor area of 270 m² (around 2906 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2023 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (December 2025) returns a high B (score 91), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. When first surveyed in September 2021 the rating was D, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 270 m² the property is well over the postcode median (125 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 2004–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,689,000 sits 68.9% above the 2022 sale of £1,000,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£344/sq ft) was about 20.9% below the postcode norm. 7 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Sold April 2022 for £1,000,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 49 Midway is modelled from its 270 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 4BB. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 49 Midway. 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 49 Midway was lodged in December 2025 at band B and is valid until December 2035. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 7 applications are matched to 49 Midway. 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 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL3 4BB, not by walking route.
Council tax band
49 Midway 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.
