About 21 Blueberry Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
21 Blueberry Close is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in St Albans (AL3 6NH). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2020) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85).
At 119 m² the property is well over the postcode median (54 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1996–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £639,000 is 16.2% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£429/sq ft) was about 54.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

- 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 21 Blueberry Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
