Overview

About 177 Verulam Road

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

177 Verulam Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in St Albans (AL3 4DW). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1227 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £901,000 sits 74.3% above the 2014 sale of £517,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£421/sq ft) was about 33.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in January 2014, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. 4 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 1 refused. At 114 m² it's 27.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (158 m² median across 6 EPCs).

Method

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 177 Verulam Road is modelled from its 114 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 4DW. 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 177 Verulam Road. 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 177 Verulam Road was lodged in January 2015 at band D and expired in January 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to 177 Verulam Road. 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 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL3 4DW, not by walking route.
Council tax band
177 Verulam Road is in council tax band F. 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.
