Overview

About 6 Priory Orchard

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

6 Priory Orchard is a four-bedroom detached house in Flamstead, St. Albans, St Albans (AL3 8BU). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Today's modelled estimate of £661,000 is 23.6% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£391/sq ft) was about 26.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 9 years ago, in February 2017. At 127 m² it's 21.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (161 m² median across 5 EPCs).

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 6 Priory Orchard is modelled from its 127 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 8BU. 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 6 Priory Orchard. 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 6 Priory Orchard was lodged in November 2015 at band D and expired in November 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. None is matched to 6 Priory Orchard. 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 8BU, not by walking route.
Council tax band
6 Priory Orchard is in council tax band F. 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.
