Overview

About 116 Roestock Lane

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

116 Roestock Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Colney Heath, St. Albans, St Albans (AL4 0QN). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in April 1998. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £527,000 sits 454.7% above the 1998 sale of £95,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£132/sq ft) was about 50% below the postcode norm. At 67 m² it sits well below the postcode median (107 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs).
