Overview

About 6 Heritage Close

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

6 Heritage Close is a three-bedroom detached house in St Albans (AL3 4EB). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 924 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 63). The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £463,000 sits 71.5% above the 2009 sale of £270,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£292/sq ft) was about 32.8% below the postcode norm.

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 6 Heritage Close is modelled from its 86 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 4EB. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 6 Heritage Close. 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 6 Heritage Close was lodged in July 2009 at band E and expired in July 2019, 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 6 Heritage Close. 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 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL3 4EB, not by walking route.
Council tax band
6 Heritage Close is in council tax band D. 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.
