Overview

About 2 Bridge Cottage

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

2 Bridge Cottage is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Sandridge, St. Albans, St Albans (AL3 6JE). It has a recorded floor area of 143 m² (around 1539 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (August 2011) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 49). Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from August 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record.

Last sold in November 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. Today's modelled estimate of £1,007,000 is 34.3% above the 2013 sale price.

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 2 Bridge Cottage is modelled from its 143 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 6JE. 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 2 Bridge Cottage. 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 2 Bridge Cottage was lodged in August 2011 at band F and expired in August 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. None is matched to 2 Bridge Cottage. 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 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL3 6JE, not by walking route.
Council tax band
2 Bridge Cottage is in council tax band F. 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.
