Overview

About 27 Corner Wood

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

27 Corner Wood is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Markyate, St. Albans, St Albans (AL3 8RF). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1399 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include notable views. The latest certificate (November 2022) shows a C (score 73). The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since July 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81).

At 130 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2012–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £570,000 is 24.5% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£327/sq ft) was about 42.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 27 Corner Wood is modelled from its 130 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 8RF. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 27 Corner Wood. 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 27 Corner Wood was lodged in November 2022 at band C and is valid until November 2032. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 27 Corner Wood. 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 8RF, not by walking route.
Council tax band
27 Corner Wood 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.
