Overview

About 12a

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

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 £739,000 sits 201.6% above the 1998 sale of £245,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£188/sq ft) was about 53.4% below the postcode norm.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 12a is modelled from its 121 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 4ER. 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 12a. 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 12a was lodged in January 2013 at band E and expired in January 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 12a. 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 4ER, not by walking route.
Council tax band
12a 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.
