Overview

About 2 Deva Close

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

2 Deva Close is a four-bedroom detached house in St Albans (AL3 4JS). It has a recorded floor area of 2226 m² (around 23960 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in October 2010 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

It hasn't traded since May 2011, a hold of 15 years that's notably long for the area. At 2226 m² the property is well over the postcode median (121 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 73% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £14,500,000 sits 3122.2% above the 2011 sale of £450,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£19/sq ft) was about 96.2% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2001.

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 2 Deva Close is modelled from its 2226 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 4JS. 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 2 Deva 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 2 Deva Close was lodged in March 2014 at band C and expired in March 2024, 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. 1 application is matched to 2 Deva 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 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL3 4JS, not by walking route.
Council tax band
2 Deva Close 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.
