Overview

About 3 Cedarwood Drive

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

3 Cedarwood Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in St Albans (AL4 0DX). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 925 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 86 m² the property is well over the postcode median (52 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £548,000 sits 232.1% above the 2001 sale of £165,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£178/sq ft) was about 33.3% below the postcode norm.

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 3 Cedarwood Drive is modelled from its 86 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL4 0DX. 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 3 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 3 Cedarwood Drive was lodged in June 2009 at band D and expired in June 2019, 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 3 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 0DX, not by walking route.
Council tax band
3 Cedarwood Drive is in council tax band D. 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.
