Overview

About 8 Edmond Beaufort Drive

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

8 Edmond Beaufort Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in St Albans (AL3 5LA). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1052 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2010) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from August 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 98 m² the property is well over the postcode median (63 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £733,000 is 42.3% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£490/sq ft) was about 49.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in January 2015, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

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 8 Edmond Beaufort Drive is modelled from its 98 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 5LA. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 8 Edmond Beaufort Drive. 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 8 Edmond Beaufort Drive was lodged in August 2010 at band D and expired in August 2020, 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 8 Edmond Beaufort Drive. 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 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL3 5LA, not by walking route.
Council tax band
8 Edmond Beaufort Drive is in council tax band E. 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.
