About 3 New Cottages

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

3 New Cottages is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Markyate, St. Albans, St Albans (AL3 8PH). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Last changed hands 12 years ago, in June 2014. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2005. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£330/sq ft) was about 18.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
