Overview

About 1c

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

1c is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in St Albans (AL4 0DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1058 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2010) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (December 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from May 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £662,000 sits 65.5% above the 2012 sale of £400,000. At 98 m² it's 19.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (82 m² median across 10 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 70% of similar EPCs). Last sold in March 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.

Method

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 1c is modelled from its 98 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL4 0DJ. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 1c. 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 1c was lodged in May 2010 at band C and expired in May 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1c. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 28 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL4 0DJ, not by walking route.
Council tax band
1c is in council tax band E. 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.
