Overview

About 1 Old Watling Street

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

1 Old Watling Street is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Flamstead, St. Albans, St Albans (AL3 8HL). It has a recorded floor area of 145 m² (around 1557 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2010) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since April 2011, a hold of 15 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £596,000 sits 71.5% above the 2011 sale of £347,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£223/sq ft) was about 19.4% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include a garage conversion, an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count.
