About 9 Cedar Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
9 Cedar Court is a semi-detached house in St Albans (AL4 0DL). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 51 m² this is the 27th smallest of 53 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–81 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 53 units on file.
Today's modelled estimate of £267,000 sits 64.8% above the 2014 sale of £162,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Last sold in April 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 9 Cedar Court is modelled from its 51 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL4 0DL. 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 9 Cedar Court. 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 9 Cedar Court was lodged in August 2013 at band E and expired in August 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 9 Cedar Court. 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 0DL, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 9 Cedar Court is in council tax band C. 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.
