About 171 Verulam Road
171 Verulam Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in St Albans (AL3 4DW). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1507 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (December 2020) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump.
Held since May 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £1,018,000 sits 333.2% above the 1999 sale of £235,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£156/sq ft) was about 64.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2021. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).
