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 £582,000 sits 67.5% above the 2011 sale of £347,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£223/sq ft) was about 25.5% 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.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Old Watling Street is modelled from its 145 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 8HL. 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 1 Old Watling Street. 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 1 Old Watling Street was lodged in December 2010 at band E and expired in December 2020, 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 1 Old Watling Street. 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 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL3 8HL, not by walking route.
Council tax band
1 Old Watling Street 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.
