Overview

About 20 Midway

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

20 Midway is a four-bedroom detached house in St Albans (AL3 4BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 197 m² (around 2119 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 57), a 2-band jump.
