About 19 21
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
19 21 is a detached house in Markyate, St. Albans, St Albans (AL3 8PG). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1967-1975. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £306,000 is 63.5% below the 2022 sale of £837,500, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£778/sq ft) was about 161.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 5 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include an extension and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sale on file: £837,500 in April 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Start your researchHow 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 19 21 is modelled from its 100 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 8PG. 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 19 21. 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 19 21 was lodged in May 2015 at band D and expired in May 2025, 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. 5 applications are matched to 19 21. 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 8PG, not by walking route.
