Overview

About 1 Ash Court

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

1 Ash Court is an end-of-terrace house in St Albans (AL4 0DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it B (December 2008); the latest reading is 3 bands lower. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 2002 — that's 24 years off the open market, well above the local norm. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £475,000 sits 193.2% above the 2002 sale of £162,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£173/sq ft) was about 54.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
