Overview

About 15 Becks Close

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

15 Becks Close is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Markyate, St. Albans, St Albans (AL3 8HU). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 91), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1996–1998, sale prices on this property compounded at 15% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £220,000 sits 266.7% above the 1998 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£143/sq ft) was about 50.9% below the postcode norm. At 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (59 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
