About 21 Dalton Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
21 Dalton Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in St Albans (AL3 5QQ). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since September 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 21 Dalton Street is modelled from its 53 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 5QQ. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 21 Dalton Street. 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 21 Dalton Street was lodged in March 2015 at band E and expired in March 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 21 Dalton Street. 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 35 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL3 5QQ, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 21 Dalton Street 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.
