About 3 Vicarage Gardens
3 Vicarage Gardens is a mid-terrace house in Flamstead, St. Albans, St Albans (AL3 8EF). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1252 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a C (score 73). The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 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 116 m² the property is well over the postcode median (89 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2003–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £409,000 sits 73.3% above the 2009 sale of £236,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£189/sq ft) was about 22.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
