Overview

About 16 Princess Diana Drive

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

16 Princess Diana Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in St Albans (AL4 0DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1254 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2008) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from September 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 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 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £709,000 sits 102.6% above the 2009 sale of £350,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£279/sq ft) was about 39.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
