Overview

About 8 Connaught Road

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

8 Connaught Road is a semi-detached house in St Albans (AL3 5RX). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1292 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
