Overview

About 4 Abbey View Road

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

4 Abbey View Road is a three-bedroom detached house in St Albans (AL3 4QL). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a loft conversion and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £902,000 is 38.8% above the 2013 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£656/sq ft) was about 38% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in September 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. At 92 m² it's 18.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (114 m² median across 6 EPCs).
