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 30 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 £354,000 sits 355.3% above the 1997 sale of £77,750. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£85/sq ft) was about 65.8% below the postcode norm.

Method

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 4 King Street is modelled from its 85 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 8JY. 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 4 King 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 4 King Street was lodged in March 2014 at band F and expired in March 2024, 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. None is matched to 4 King 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 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL3 8JY, not by walking route.
Council tax band
4 King Street is in council tax band D. 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.
