Overview

About 3 Pie Garden

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

3 Pie Garden is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Flamstead, St. Albans, St Albans (AL3 8BP). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1335 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a C (score 70). The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 98), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since January 2006, a hold of 21 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £546,000 sits 91.6% above the 2006 sale of £285,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£214/sq ft) was about 32.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a garage conversion approved in 2007. Past consents include a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

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 3 Pie Garden is modelled from its 124 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 8BP. 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 3 Pie Garden. 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 3 Pie Garden was lodged in June 2015 at band C and expired in June 2025, 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 3 Pie Garden. 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 20 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL3 8BP, not by walking route.
Council tax band
3 Pie Garden is in council tax band E. 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.
