Overview

About 3 Batchwood View

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

3 Batchwood View is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in St Albans (AL3 5TD). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1379 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 128 m² it's 24.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (103 m² median across 16 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £704,000 sits 95.6% above the 2009 sale of £359,950. 3 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused.

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 3 Batchwood View is modelled from its 128 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 5TD. 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 3 Batchwood View. 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 3 Batchwood View was lodged in September 2009 at band E and expired in September 2019, 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. 3 applications are matched to 3 Batchwood View. 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 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL3 5TD, not by walking route.
Council tax band
3 Batchwood View 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.
