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.
