Overview

About 1 Bassett Close

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

1 Bassett Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Redbourn, St. Albans, St Albans (AL3 7JY). It has a recorded floor area of 136 m² (around 1462 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 56), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 136 m² the property is well over the postcode median (101 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.

How to read this page

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 Bassett Close is modelled from its 136 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 7JY. 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 Bassett Close. 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 Bassett Close was lodged in December 2008 at band F and expired in December 2018, 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 1 Bassett Close. 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 3 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL3 7JY, not by walking route.
Council tax band
1 Bassett Close is in council tax band G. 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.
