Overview

About 15 Midway

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

15 Midway is a four-bedroom detached house in St Albans (AL3 4BD). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (January 2022) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (August 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump.

Held since December 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 116 m² it sits well below the postcode median (188 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,066,000 is 42.1% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£601/sq ft) was about 109.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 15 Midway is modelled from its 116 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 4BD. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 15 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 15 Midway was lodged in January 2022 at band E and is valid until January 2032. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 15 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 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL3 4BD, not by walking route.
Council tax band
15 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.
