How the estimate is made

The estimate for Flat 1 is modelled from its 65 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 7DS. 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.

Overview

About Flat 1

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

Flat 1 is a semi-detached house in Redbourn, St. Albans, St Albans (AL3 7DS). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 65 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 50–133 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (October 2019) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75).

At 65 m² it sits well below the postcode median (127 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1999–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £331,000 is 20.4% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£393/sq ft) was about 20.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in April 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

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 Flat 1 is modelled from its 65 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 7DS. 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 Flat 1. 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 Flat 1 was lodged in October 2019 at band D and is valid until October 2029. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Flat 1. 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 4 schools and 29 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL3 7DS, not by walking route.
Council tax band
Flat 1 is in council tax band C. 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.
