About 1 Alverton
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Alverton is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in St Albans (AL3 6HB). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1161 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2011) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Today's modelled estimate of £709,000 sits 57.6% above the 2013 sale of £450,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£388/sq ft) was about 73.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in December 2013 and unlisted since — roughly 13 years.

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 1 Alverton is modelled from its 108 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 6HB. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 1 Alverton. 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 1 Alverton was lodged in January 2011 at band E and expired in January 2021, 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 1 Alverton. 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 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL3 6HB, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 1 Alverton is in council tax band E. 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.
