Overview

About 279 Hatfield Road

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

279 Hatfield Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in St Albans (AL4 0DH). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £1,036,000 is 34.5% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£563/sq ft) was about 92.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in January 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2018.
