Overview

About 24 Singlets Lane

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

24 Singlets Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in Flamstead, St. Albans, St Albans (AL3 8EP). It has a recorded floor area of 161 m² (around 1733 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in August 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since December 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 2004–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 0.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £736,000 sits 69.2% above the 2010 sale of £435,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£251/sq ft) was about 25% below the postcode norm.

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 24 Singlets Lane is modelled from its 161 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 8EP. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 24 Singlets Lane. 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 24 Singlets Lane was lodged in August 2016 at band D and expired in August 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 24 Singlets Lane. 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 8EP, not by walking route.
Council tax band
24 Singlets Lane 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.
