Overview

About 88 Trowley Hill Road

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

88 Trowley Hill Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Flamstead, St. Albans, St Albans (AL3 8EA). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1122 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 104 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £565,000 sits 65.7% above the 2009 sale of £341,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 88 Trowley Hill Road is modelled from its 104 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 8EA. 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 88 Trowley Hill 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 88 Trowley Hill Road was lodged in October 2008 at band D and expired in October 2018, 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. 2 applications are matched to 88 Trowley Hill 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 3 schools and 21 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL3 8EA, not by walking route.
Council tax band
88 Trowley Hill Road 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.
