12a, George Street, St Albans, AL3 4ER
About 12a
12a is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in St Albans (AL3 4ER). It has a recorded floor area of 121 m² (around 1302 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2013) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in January 2012 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). The latest certificate is from January 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since September 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £670,000 sits 173.5% above the 1998 sale of £245,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£188/sq ft) was about 54% below the postcode norm.
