Overview

About 1 Chequer Lane

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

1 Chequer Lane is a semi-detached house in Redbourn, St. Albans, St Albans (AL3 7NH). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 886 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74).

Held since October 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2004–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £539,000 sits 57.6% above the 2009 sale of £342,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£386/sq ft) was about 79.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 82 m² it sits well below the postcode median (123 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused.
