Overview

About 4 King Street

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

4 King Street is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Markyate, St. Albans, St Albans (AL3 8JY). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £371,000 sits 377.2% above the 1997 sale of £77,750. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£85/sq ft) was about 63% below the postcode norm.
