The estimate for 42 Longacres is modelled from its 112 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL4 0DR. 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.

42 Longacres is a semi-detached house in St Albans (AL4 0DR). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1201 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2010) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from June 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since September 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £588,000 sits 232.2% above the 1999 sale of £177,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£147/sq ft) was about 55.8% below the postcode norm. 6 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 112 m² it's 21.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (92 m² median across 28 EPCs).
42 Longacres's EPC is over a decade old — improvements since won't be reflected.
