Overview

About 7 Chequer Lane

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

7 Chequer Lane is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Redbourn, St. Albans, St Albans (AL3 7NH). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1421 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2024) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 87). Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since April 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £675,000 sits 121.3% above the 2007 sale of £305,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£215/sq ft) was about 32.7% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 89% of similar EPCs).
