Overview

About 129 Sandpit Lane

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

129 Sandpit Lane is a three-bedroom detached house in St Albans (AL4 0BP). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since June 2010. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a corner plot.

At 101 m² it's 21.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (128 m² median across 9 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £813,000 is 47.8% above the 2013 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£506/sq ft) was about 36.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in September 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. 5 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused.
