Overview

About 16 Oaklands Lane

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

16 Oaklands Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Smallford, St. Albans, St Albans (AL4 0HR). It has a recorded floor area of 182 m² (around 1960 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2009) shows a C (score 71). The latest certificate is from November 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 182 m² the property is well over the postcode median (122 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1997–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £800,000 is 49.5% above the 2013 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£273/sq ft) was about 16.6% below the postcode norm. Last sold in July 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2000.
