Overview

About 1 Becketts Avenue

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

1 Becketts Avenue is a four-bedroom detached house in St Albans (AL3 5RT). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1470 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band E. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows a C (score 72). The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since April 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £811,000 sits 93.1% above the 2009 sale of £420,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 1 refused.
