Overview

About 34 Oaklands Lane

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

34 Oaklands Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Smallford, St. Albans, St Albans (AL4 0HR). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2013) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from January 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £670,000 sits 55.8% above the 2013 sale of £430,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£430/sq ft) was about 57.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 93 m² it sits well below the postcode median (137 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in July 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
