About 2a

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

2a is a five-bedroom detached house in Colney Heath, St. Albans, St Albans (AL4 0PR). It has a recorded floor area of 166 m² (around 1786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 22 years, with the last transfer in February 2004. At 166 m² the property is well over the postcode median (102 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 1998–2004, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £704,000 sits 101.2% above the 2004 sale of £349,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£196/sq ft) was about 25.3% below the postcode norm.
