Overview

About 16 Cutmore Drive

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

16 Cutmore Drive is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Colney Heath, St. Albans, St Albans (AL4 0PH). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 565 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. At 53 m² this is the 10th smallest of 31 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–95 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (May 2010) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from May 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in September 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £238,000 sits 51.1% above the 2007 sale of £157,500. At 53 m² it sits well below the postcode median (76 m² across 30 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.

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 16 Cutmore Drive is modelled from its 53 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL4 0PH. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 16 Cutmore 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 16 Cutmore Drive was lodged in May 2010 at band C and expired in May 2020, 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 16 Cutmore 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 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL4 0PH, not by walking route.
Council tax band
16 Cutmore Drive is in council tax band B. 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.
