Overview

About 5 Church Road

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

5 Church Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Flamstead, St. Albans, St Albans (AL3 8BN). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1399 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in February 2011 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 87). The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Last sale on file: £600,000 in September 2022. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.3% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£429/sq ft) was about 106.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
