Overview

About 21 Church Road

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

21 Church Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Flamstead, St. Albans, St Albans (AL3 8BN). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (November 2011) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from November 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £787,000 sits 57.4% above the 2008 sale of £500,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£418/sq ft) was about 97.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 111 m² it's 21% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (141 m² median across 6 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2017.

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 21 Church Road is modelled from its 111 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 8BN. 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 21 Church Road. 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 21 Church Road was lodged in November 2011 at band D and expired in November 2021, 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. 1 application is matched to 21 Church Road. 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 2 schools and 21 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL3 8BN, not by walking route.
Council tax band
21 Church Road 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.
