Overview

About 3 Sydney Place

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

3 Sydney Place is a four-bedroom detached house in St Albans (AL3 4DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 147 m² (around 1582 sq ft). The latest certificate (August 2014) returns a B (score 82), comfortably above the UK average. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 147 m² the property is well over the postcode median (106 m² across 25 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. Today's modelled estimate of £1,081,000 is 15.6% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£591/sq ft) was about 54.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in December 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

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 3 Sydney Place is modelled from its 147 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 4DJ. 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 3 Sydney Place. 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 3 Sydney Place was lodged in August 2014 at band B and expired in August 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 3 Sydney Place. 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 31 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL3 4DJ, not by walking route.
