Overview

About 74 Sandpit Lane

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

74 Sandpit Lane is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in St Albans (AL4 0BX). It has a recorded floor area of 185 m² (around 1987 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2007–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 25.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,053,000 sits 63.3% above the 2009 sale of £645,000. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 79% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2007.
