Overview

About 6 Cedarwood Drive

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

6 Cedarwood Drive is a detached house in St Albans (AL4 0DW). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 108 m² the property is well over the postcode median (51 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£499/sq ft) was about 87.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in April 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2018.

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 6 Cedarwood Drive is modelled from its 108 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL4 0DW. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 6 Cedarwood Drive. 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 6 Cedarwood Drive was lodged in July 2016 at band E and expired in July 2026, 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. 1 application is matched to 6 Cedarwood Drive. 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 0DW, not by walking route.
Council tax band
6 Cedarwood Drive 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.
